Michael, Sometimes....simply going to the Adelphia website may let you know of outages in your area.
Adelphia has been having some local (SoCal) problems due to the recent fire along the LA/Ventura border. The fire took out one of their Fiber distribution points - referred to as an "outbuilding" in the news. It is located high up in the Santa Susanna Pass. (175,000 customer got to see "Desperate Housewives in Spanish on Sunday night, Oct 2nd. due to the chaos of the rerouting around this point) The problem may have nothing to do with Adelphia - a major financial spat between two ISP titans may have caused your outage.
