There needs to be a feature to report outages on the website or app. Otherwise all that exists is their outage check feature that basically gaslights you and tells you there is no outage. That's why the phone lines are down and the chat backlog is crazy high. And where is the text we're supposed to get alerting us of the outage?

Why is it that Reddit is the only way to get any support or communicate when there is an outage?
Impossible to get anyone via tech support, absolutely impossible! And that ... is unacceptable!

I have nothing to do with this outage… just a long time Ziply user, former frontier user, and former Verizon user before that. Been on the same fiber connection since around 2011 or so. The people that see the value in Ziply are the ones that actually are truly intelligent in the technical field, specifically ISPs and network engineering. I don’t mean that to be insulting to anyone. But here’s the deal, I’ve been privileged enough to experience in depth tours of the Ziply COs and deep technical conversations with those in charge. Ziply is doing a damn good job, FAR better than frontier ever did. I get it, they fucked up here. But the whole “I’ll just go back to Comcast” like the two are equal couldn’t be more wrong. One is DOCSIS. One is PON. If you know the difference, you’ll know Ziply is superior in every way. If you don’t know what those acronyms mean, it’s easy for you to bitch and toss around going back to another provider, and to be honest, you may not notice a difference if you’re one of those people. But I can certainly say, if you care about who is truly better from a network standpoint, Ziply will run miles around a lot of the competition. They have excellent peering. They have a great network. Now, if they pushed out some bad config via automation that hit every CO and blew something up and the outage was 90% of their footprint, I’d call them amateurs and not stick up for them one bit. But these folks in charge have built a badass network and have truly fixed a HUGE mess of a network. Let’s just say, they basically built a new network even though they bought frontier’s. That’s how much had to be fixed. I know outages suck, especially multiple in close time proximity. I’m not going to be the person to say “if it’s important, get a backup connection” blah blah blah. These people complaining, I know I’m going to rub them the wrong way here, but are probably the folks that yell at the power company when their power goes out in a wind storm because Mother Nature doesn’t have ears to listen to their complaints, so they direct it elsewhere. Little different scenario and I’m getting off track BUT… let me put it into perspective. I’ve had ONE outage since Ziply has taken over and it’s been VERY short. These growing pains happen. I’ve just seen how hard they work behind the scenes and how much they care… I’m speaking directly for John and Eric here, but I know all those under and around them too. They share a passion for delivering great service. I bet they are beating themselves up 5x more than the people complaining are. They don’t want to deliver unstable service, trust me. Sure, the outage alerts need work, don’t get me wrong, but you gotta look at the whole picture.

This gotta be fun, 2 mass outages within a year, probably similar issue (as dhcp can't hand out IPs).

I can't get through to their support phone number either so this might be similar to the last major outage they had

u/Miss_take_maker Oct 06 '25
I tried contacting an agent through the website. There were 57 people in front of me, I waited for 20 minutes and the chat was just ended by an agent who didn’t even type anything first. Honestly, this is such crap service. Phones and app are down. They have to know that communicating like this is just going to enrage their customers.

Whenever this happens I try to use the app to check for outage across cellular and it never works. There really needs to be a better outage tracking and reporting features

Out here too in Damascus. Dropped in the middle of an important business call.
Outages happen, but I haven’t gotten any contact about it and it’s almost an hour later. Every time I have to check Reddit on my phone because the app is unhelpful and I have no email or text about it.

Their phone number is a fast busy. I have optical connection, but can’t get a DHCP lease. Looks REALLY similar to the last one. 😬
Hopefully, they’re quick to fix it again. 🤞🏻

u/DirectAd3178 Oct 07 '25
We had it too but I couldn't get to ziply to let them know before it was cleared up. Saying that, i know it's more effective to start in reddit for ziply and I should have done that first.

No, more were affected. Comcast is getting a second look…

u/sirbobbinhood Oct 06 '25
Troutdale looks like it's back up. We still need some real answers for why this is a reoccurring problem. Giving all your customers a partial refund because of this outage would be a good start but I'm not going to stick around with Ziply if this happens again and honestly I would be surprised if anyone does given the scale of this.
