First they overcharge horrendously compared to the mainland and now this? Bunch of crooks. This system of monopolized ISPism is what is keeping America in the internet stone age while Japan, Korea, and Europe are rocking 50MB+ connections

[...] this outage could’ve been prevented if Oceanic Time Warner already had this redundancy built into their network infrastructure. They are the State of Hawaii’s largest ISP . So, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist [...]

Is it really called Oceanic, like the airline on Lost?

That’s just too funny!

If there’s any bright side to this, hopefully Time Warner will use this opportunity to install redundant circuits and maybe upgrade some equipment to give Hawaii customers faster service.

This is what I sent to Oceanic this evening re: this outage:

Aloha,

I was mildly affected by today’s fiber outage. All channels simply went black around midnight. Nevertheless, I’m curious if OTW is planning to add some redundancy its network. It simply doesn’t make any sense to reroute most of the neighbor island connections to LA and back to Hawaii until the Wavecom/TW Telecom fiber is repaired. So, I hope in the future OTW procures additional redundant bandwidth through Paniolo or HawTel to avoid this problem in the future.
