Facebook - Apparently FIOS doesn't like that site. Comcast loves it though.

So, I just got off the phone with Verizon level 2 tech support. They claim that they know of no such problem where certain sites have issues with connection when using FIOS, like Facebook.
Ahhh, my guess is they don't read. http://forums.verizon.com/t5/FiOS-Internet/Mid-Atlantic-Fios-Problems/td-p/157351
Anyway, just about all the other sites I use work fine, but Facebook. It doesn't matter what machine I use. It doesn't matter what browser I use. Facebook, for some odd reason has issues........... and only with FIOS.
Luckily, I just turned this garbage on  recently(FIOS), and I still have my Comcast connection up. So I ran two machines side by side. One connected to FIOS, the other connected to Comcast.
Care to take a guess what happens when Verizon is choking on Facebook? Comcast works just fine.
When Verizon wont even connect to Facebook, Comcast works just fine.
I have no action plan from Vz L2, nothing. The best I got from the stooge on the phone was "I'll pass the word along."
Well gee thanks. You'll pass the word along that the service I paid for is malfunctioning? How nice. Thank you so much, I feel so special.
...because I wouldn't want to be treated like any other customer with a problem, where a ticket is opened and someone is actually responsible for resolving it. No........... just pass the word.
Even better, which makes me feel even more special, is I'm apparently the only one out of the millions of customers that Verizon has, who has reported this. Oh I feel so special.
.........hmmm.
Maybe I'm not alone? Maybe it's a problem they have yet to figure out? Maybe they're telling everyone that they're "special", just like me, until their lackey network team figures out why Facebook has such poor QoS?
Maybe they just set it up that way in some idiotic attempt to better manage traffic for the most popular site on the web?
Maybe I'll call Comcast, and see what they can do. I miss you Comcast. Your TV sucks, but there's nothing on anyway.

Just to introduce some reality to a rather mis-directed thread, you might want to read this article from the New York Times:
http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/09/23/facebook-says-it-is-working-on-technical-troubles/?hp
And FWIW, I was able to get to Facebook via my FiOS connection with no trouble about 15-20 minutes ago. So apparently Facebook has fixed their problems.

  • Local DNS uses .local suffix, but Apple doesn't like that?

    Hi all,
    I've had a 20gb classic for a while now, and upgraded to a 32gb Touch today but I think I've run into a g-glitch
    First off, yes I am a nerd, and I have more complexity in my home network than a lot of businesses... That's what you get when you work in Network Security I guess!
    My home network uses the domain fukawi2.local for everything, so I have a DNS server and DNS records for everything such as:
    desktop.fukawi2.local
    laptop.fukawi2.local
    touchpod.fukawi2.local
    proxy.fukawi2.local
    etc... But anytime I try to use and of these names, the iPod Touch locks up for a long while, and then barfs. I've been doing some traffic tracing, and when I'm using *.fukawi2.local, I don't even see any DNS requests be made to my DNS server. I do see requests when opening GMail or the App Store etc.
    IIRC, I remember reading somewhere a while ago that Apple treats .local domains differently using Bonjour or something similar? Is that correct? Is there anyway around this? (ie, disable it on the iPod) or do I have to use IP Addresses for everything?
    TIA

    Thanks for the KB article luvlabs - I tried to find it but ".local" was treated as "local" by the search I was using so it returned a lot of irrelevant material
    That might be one solution that I'll have to look at if I can't get the iPod to treat .local as a normal domain - create a *.fukawi2.ipod domain or something and just point them to the equivalent *.fukawi2.local name (ie, proxy.fukawi2.ipod -> proxy.fukawi2.local)
    (and I'm fairly proficient with networking and Linux, but certainly far from an expert with Apple products! ;P )

  • How to symlink vendor libraries in DW? It doesn't consider that a library is in the local site folde

    Here's my question on Stackoverflow.
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13223428/how-to-symlink-vendor-libraries-in-dw-it-doesn t-consider-that-a-library-is-in
    And here I duplicate it. Please see on Stackoverflow because I'm afraid I'll not be able to format my question here right way using these forum tools.
    I use Win XP and Dreamweaver. I have ZF2 project. Here its "site root directory", using DW words:
    application_root/
        config/
            application.config.php
            autoload/
                global.php
                local.php
                // etc.
        data/
        module/
        vendor/
        public/
            .htaccess
            index.php
        init_autoloader.php
    I have it here C:\xampp\htdocs\mySite
    In /vendor directory there must be ZF2 library. But I have it in other directory'C:\xampp\htdocs\ZF2' and just want to put symlink to it in my /vendor directory.
    But if do so DW considers that ZF2 library is outside of my project directory. For example I want to require a class:
    require_once('\Zend\Mvc\Application.php');
    But DW says:
    This file is outside of the root folder of site "mySite", and may not be accessible when you publish the site... Would you like to copy the file there now?
    No, I don't want to copy. I don't want to make a score of the same library in every directory of my projects. But DW seems doesnt allow to do it. It makes me to copy only.
    So my question is. Is it possible to set DW that it allows to use symlinks to include libraries which are not in the "site root directory"? How to do it?
    I've read this http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/setup_php.html , but it doesn't help. It has one sentence about the problem and that's all it has. It absolutely doesn't give the answer how to solve it.
    However, this results in two identical copies of every file. Instead it's common practice to store project files in a folder inside the document root of the testing server, which is what you'll do in this tutorial.
    And there is nothing in the tutorial about the problem.

    Non-Windows browsers do not have a concept of a "trusted" site. In Windows, IE and Chrome do not repeatedly prompt for credentials because they use the user's login credentials on the desktop. Other devices do not have this capability. Instead,
    you need to use something like ADFS to authenticate users.

  • Facebook does not update "likes," that people "like," after setting Facebook to an exception for "Third Party Cookies"

    I recently changed all my Bookmarks to sites that are exceptions for third party cookies and turned off the acceptance of third party cookies. Facebook will not update any "likes" I get until after I reload the page. It also will not allow me to upload pictures, it says that I am not logged in which is really odd. Is this because I have switched to the https://facebook .com?

  • I would like Adobe to develop a programme that sits between Lightroom and CS6

    I have Lightroom 1, 2, 3 & 4 (which I can't use at the moment because it is too slow) I also have CS3.
    I am an enthusiastic amatuer and don't need the catalogue facility in Lightroom (which can be exasperating at times) and I don't need 90% of the stuff on CS6 as I do most of my editing in Adobe Camera Raw.
    I would like to see Adobe develop a programme that sits between Lightroom and CS6 where the Lightroom  layout is kept much the same only instead of a catalogue have a browser in its place, I would also like to see the clone tool & the healing brush replaced with proper ones that work like the ones in CS6, I would also like to see an adjustment brush with a facility to invert my selection or some sort of masking, these are the tools I use most often in photoshop.
    Does anyone feel the same as me and if so how do we contact Adobe to let them know.

  • Firefox freezes on sites into which I enter info, like survey site and especially facebook.

    Firefox freezes on sites into which I enter info, like survey sites and especially facebook. On a particular survey site, I filled in the dots for how much I like or disliked their product. After I was done, my firefox screen went grey and my computer became unresponive. I had to shut it down via task manager. The biggest problem is with face book. If I write long messages then I am okay... most of the time. It's inconsistent. But the result is usually a grey screen and I must follow the procedure above. I tried the same thing on myspace and oddly I didn't have this problem. Also, on facebook, while typing a message it will not scroll down when I get to the end of the page, such as this page just did now. Therefore I can't see what I'm writing at certain points. I recently reinstalled Vista Premium Home edition and then installed the newest version of firefox. Everything was fine til yesterday. So I reinstalled firefox and change my lag time to -1, but that didn't help either. Had a problem with adobe earlier too, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. That's all I can think to tell you. Thanks for the help!

    Hello Kelly.
    It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.

    I have exactly the same issues with my new 80G iPOD. I have found that when connecting to my PC, the iPOD does not start iTUNES 7. This can be resolved by stopping the iPOD Service in Computer Management, connecting the iPOD and then starting it again. Then when you start iTUNES it finds the iPOD. - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
    Seems like a stupid long-winded way to do things, but at least you can get some stuff on to your iPOD.
    As far as using Restore goes - I just get the restoring iPOD message you described, which it blatantly isn't :((

    Hi Tom
    Thanks for replying!
    I had heard that these switches didn't stack unless everything was identical.
    I only tried it at all out of pure desperation.
    I've applied and tested every version 3 firmware in standalone mode via a console cable and xmodem.
    They either never come up properly receiving decompression errors and reboot constantly in a loop.
    Occasionally they stall / jam and stay there displaying the same error with no rebooting.
    And twice out of 80-100 times I got it to boot to the username and password screen in standalone mode.
    But as soon as I made a change it crashed and started the rebooting cycle again.

  • How can I get FIREFOX to store password for the public library, since it doesn't ask me when I go to that site ?

    My password at a particular website was changed recently, so I
    removed that site from the list of saved passwords in Firefox
    manager. Now, when I visit that site, FIREFOX doesn't ask me
    to save the password for this site.
    WHY ?

    The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
    You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.
