    Fyi - Talked to support earlier and they reported an issue possibly due to the cabling work by Verizon. Internet, phone and cable are impacted. Openband support line is now on busy state.

    Thanks for the info, Merlin. Going on four hours of outage and they are still unable to provide an ETOR of service. It will be so good to see Openband evaporate.

    Unbelievable- they can’t even solve issues when it pops up nor answer calls- one of the worst internet providers ever-

    Can’t wait for them to disappear and Van Metre to stop getting their 12% kickback from OB.

    I checked their website for outage info and nothing is posted. Called the (703) number as (866) was going unanswered and was on hold for 22 minutes to hear there's a neighborhood outage and no other info is available.

    I plan to ask/demand a credit for the outage period, suggest others do the same.

    Agree that this is a huge inconvenience but the outage was not caused by OpenBand but rather by Verizon cutting a line when they were digging.
