We just started this service with Ooma and were going to port lines... NOW, were giving it SECOND thoughts. You would think that they would have a Telephone Support line that was NOT dependent on the same connection we have...this assuming that that is why their phones are down, and we can't reach them...

THIS IS NOT GONNA' WORK! BACK TO AT&T $$$$

I guess you get what you pay for!
This is why a number of people have opted to retain one line with their primary carrier. I am in SoCal, not far from West Hills. When I determined that the system went down, it took all of a minute (or less) to swap one plug and voila... had phone service again. Let's face it VOIP is tied to internet service. Not necessarily perfect, but one hellofa value when compared to other primary carriers. I can retain my single ATnT line (with their "All Distance" service) and still save more than $100 per month over my prior service. Yes, it might be inconvenienct to lose the VOIP service occsionally, but it is part of the risk that I am willing to assume (at least occasional disrutptions) given the advantages.

My suggestion: retain one ATnT line (or Verizon if that is your carrier) with at least minimum service. That way you can make the necessary outbound calls and receive any calls in the event of a disruption of VOIP service.

I've learned a lot here... two months ago I didn't even know how to spell VOIP and now I are one.

parmenides - I don't see any logs for your device. Can you try pinging these three servers, ideally from behind the ooma Hub (ie from a computer connected to the HOME port):

myxprov.ooma.com
vpn.ooma.com
syslog.ooma.com
I can ping the first two. I can't ping syslog, which probably explains why you don't see any logs for my device... :(

syslog.ooma.com resolves to 38.102.149.5 for me.

Any thoughts?
Well, hey, I rebooted for like the 20th time and it came back. Blue! Super duper.

G'night! We'll hope for better tomorrow... :)

I too was affected by the outage in Atlanta--but I had set up the multiple ring feature with all incoming calls simultaneously ringing my cell phone, so I continued to receive incoming calls.

Hi Jason,

It’s been a tough day. Yes we at Ooma take this VERY SERIOUSLY. It appears that one of the routes out of our datacenter (and that of several other SV companies) has been experiencing problems. We are attempting fix the problem, but the challenge is that it’s not our network leg or hardware that is the problem.

The service if flucuating up and down as we try to establish new routes around the problem. As soon as we find a permanent fix we’ll post notices on our blog and on twitter.

Our sincere apologies to those impacted this afternoon.
