Sure, but you have to log in to the internet to use them. http://www.dslreports.com/badrouters gives a good indication, but best is to record your ip address (cable box/dsl box) and try pinging it from a dialup.
Most ISP's just give a line of BS when asked about the outage (and you know it's BS, because the whole neighborhood is outdoors yacking, instead of watching TV indoors) DSL-extreme (my isp) at least keeps it's outage page updated. --- mperez738 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Today i had to call my adelphia provider and spend about > 10 minutes on > the phone with tech support to learn that there was an > internet outage > in my area. > > 1. does any one know of a website that monitors internet > outages in the > southern california area so I can look it up instead of > spending lost > time on the phone. > > thank > > Michael > >
