I know that optimum has had some downtime today with their mail services, but since approximately 4-5pm today I haven't been able to register a new modem. Its a used Arris 1602A I believe I bought on Ebay from a good seller, around 4-5 when I tried to activate it, walled garden worked, but kept asking me to re-enter the MAC manually, and kept giving me a 106 error I believe. I then tried an extra Motorola SB6141 I have lying around that wasnt registered - and was not able to register it either (it worked last week when I was testing it with optimum). Eventually since around 5 pm, the walled garden barely loaded, and when it did, it couldn't even get me to the enter MAC screen anymore - now I can't even load the walled garden, with either the "new" modem or the past working "test" modem. However if I connect my Optimum Arris 822, internet immediately works (since its registered on the network.)
Anyone else noticing that their self-install walled garden is down? I tried calling earlier during the downtime but they were disconnecting all tech calls with the message that they were overloaded.
edit: Oh and I did this through my router, and directly connected to my computer's NIC.
