Subject: Xfinity with IPv6 clue?

I hate resorting to NANOG, but I've spent over 5 hours on the phone with 
Xfinity the past two days, and I can't seem to get someone who understands my 
problem.

I do not have working IPv6 - I do not get an address or PD.  I have working 
IPv4.  Xfinity wanted to blame this on my modem, so I went and picked up a 
Xfinity modem.  From the 10.0.0.1 web site on the xfinity modem, I can ping 
IPv4 addresses fine.  I can not ping IPv6 addresses from the modem itself, thus 
taking my equipment out of the picture.  This is a new activation.  Xfinity 
keeps asking questions like "well, can you surf the internet", which shows that 
they seem to totally lack understanding.  I've talked to at least 7 people, and 
have reached my breaking point.   I know, I know, its residential and I should 
have low expectations.  I'm sorry for the noise, but I can't seem to find 
anyone with clue.

Anyone on from Comcast?

I've spent my morning in customer support hell.  Sorry for the noise, but if 
someone with clue could help a gig residential customer getting 3 Mbit/s, I'd 
love you.


Comcast Support

2015-01-22 Thread Janet Sullivan
I hate to use NANOG for this, but support has now ended a chat with me twice 
without fixing anything, they just kicked me off.

I'm not getting an IPv6 address on the Comcast provided cable modem/router.  
I'm not getting a PD.  My machines thus have no IPv6.  I've hard reset my 
router 4 times while working with Comcast, and I've been told to do things like 
switch to a static IPv4 address, which shows a level of clue that is scary.  
And before that they were convinced it was a wireless problem even though I 
have a wired connection, and told them that multiple times.  I've wasted two 
hours with Comcast today, and even when I asked for escalation I got nothing.  
Just hung up on.  It's honestly the worst customer support I've ever received.  
I don't think I ever got them to understand the difference between IPv4 and 
IPv6.

Thank you, I really appreciate you looking into this.  In return, I'll offer up 
that I'm a senior network engineer at Microsoft - if you ever have issues with 
AS8075, ping me, and I'll see what I can do.

All it looks like I am seeing packet loss there across all of our peering 
sessions with them, so looks like a problem on their network. I'll ask our NOC 
to open up a ticket with them though just to see if we can find out what the 
issue is.

Thanks,

I've been seeing really bad packet loss between PCCW and frontier, and so far 
haven't been able to make any traction with anyone on either side.   I'm 
betting that the ??? is a peering point either in London or Ashburn.

[OT] Internet connectivity options in Afghanistan?

2011-02-22 Thread Janet Sullivan
I'm looking for cheap/slow internet connectivity options in Kabul, 
Jalalabad, and Herat.  The connections will be used by AFCECO 
orphanages, so speed isn't as much of an issue as cost.  I'm guessing 
that satellite might be the only game in town, but if any of you fine 
folks know of connectivity options, I'd appreciate an email.

Re: [NANOG] Microsoft.com PMTUD black hole? (working with Microsoft on issues)

2008-05-08 Thread Janet Sullivan
I thought I'd post a few constructive comments on this thread. (Full 
disclosure:  I am an ex-Microsoft employee.  I do not speak for the 
company, I'm just trying to help out the network community.)

1) Yes, Microsoft blocks ICMP for the most part, which will break Path 
MTU Discovery.  This is a known issue.  If you run into it, its most 
likely because the servers you are trying to talk to in MS-land don't 
have black hole router detection turned on.

2)  Instead of trying to get all the various ACLs and firewalls in 
Microsoft fixed to allow PMTUD, you are more likely to experience joy if 
you can contact the server owners.  Ask if they have black hole router 
detection turned on, and if not, if they can do so.

3) So how do you get in contact with the server owners or MSN's 
networking people?  [EMAIL PROTECTED] is your best bet.  That's the 
email address monitored by the basic Tier 1 "Service Operations Center". 
  They cut tickets, follow scripts, and do very basic front line work. 
They probably won't be able to fix the problem for you, but they CAN get 
you in touch with the right people.

4) FINDING the right people can be a challenge, even internally. 
Microsoft is a very big company, and its far from centralized.  Be 
specific in what URLs and IPs you are having trouble with, and be 
prepared to bounce around a bit. The people who run microsoft.com's 
servers aren't the same group that does hotmail, etc.  Have patience, 
and try to get ticket numbers for tracking at much as possible.

5) Try to give a realistic estimate of how many users are being impacted 
by the problem.  Your problem will be triaged as it moves through 
various groups, and yes, the response time may not be what you want. 
Your problem is one fire among many, and there aren't enough firefighters.

6) Be nice.  Seriously.  People love to hate Microsoft, and sometimes 
take it out on the poor overworked geeks who are trying to actually make 
things better.  Every vulnerability, BSOD, or Vista delay is not the 
fault of the network or systems engineer you get in touch with.  ;-)
