Metrocast problems?

Is anyone else having issues with there internet and phone? I have tried calling the 800 number but I just get a busy signal. My cable is working fine though. I have reset everything but it's still a no go:(

My internet is working, but Metrocast cable & phone is out.

Trying to call but getting "all circuits are busy" recording.

(I'm across the bridge in King George)

Yep. Same here. My TV is working but some of the channels are offline. It says This channel will be available shorty. Ref Code S0a00

My Galaxy S3 is acting as a backup WiFi until Metrocast is back online. The 4G LTE is just as fast as the cable.

Question

I have a friend who takes online classes and needs to submit a project tonight. Does anyone know how widespread the Internet outage is? Or do you happen to know of a place it hasn't affected? TIA

I'd suggest a laptop and a trip to somewhere with wireless internet.

Most Starbucks and some McDonald's restaurants offer free wi-fi.

I thought about that but most of those places use Metrocast as their provider. If our net is down, chances are theirs are too. Thanks for the suggestion though.
