Anyone's elses TV and Internet not working (Optimum)? (Levittown area) UPDATE: Fixed, Thanks Cablevision!

I have Cablevision IO TV & Optonline and both have not been working since about 2am this morning. I called support @ 7am and they said there was no outage in my area. But it is still out as of 10:15am. I am located on the Levittown/East Meadow border (near Loring rd and N. Jerulseum Ave.)

Anyone else experiencing issues today?

**Final Update (8/8)**: The power brownout fried the whole cable line that runs from the pole to our house. A Cablevision tech came out yesterday and replaced it. Good job Cablevision! Thanks for the quick service! Chat Icon Forget what I said below about FIOS. Chat Icon

UPDATE: Apparently the problem is just my house as Cablevision says there is no outage in my area. Everything was working fine last night... very odd. HMM.... where did I put that letter from Verizon FIOS?.....

Yes, I am off of Wantagh Ave in Levittown, and mine wasn't working right either this morning. It wasn't downloading the programming guide and when I rebooted it, it said advanced programming wasn't available. I rebooted a second time and now it is working.

Another interesting tidbit I just found out from one of my neighbors is that there is a power outage nearby. We know some who lives on Saddle Ln who currently has no power and hasn't for a while. I wonder if this could be related.

Sometime last night, I don't remember the time but it must have been between 9-10pm we experienced what I can only describe as a brownout? We didn't lose power but our AC sound like it went into low power mode and the TV went all screwy. Some of our lights also appeared to dim. It was almost if we were didnt' have full power coming to our home. Chat Icon Chat Icon

I'm on Saddle Lane and we lost power at 7:00am this morning and didn't get it back till about 11:00...but thats nothing new for my block, the transformer always blows. This is the second time this week. It's not all of Saddle Lane just about 5 houses on one side of the street.
