They ask for credit card details!
When I used the online chat to report a problem in my area, the agent put up a form requesting my credit card details to charge me a supposedly fully refundable fee to be connected to an "expert".
In this day and age I am NOT going to disclose credit card details over an online chat! It HAS to be a scam.

Currently Spectrum is down
Currently Spectrum is down, frustrated I went to the internet and DownDetector to see if there's an issue. Of course, there isn't according to DownDetector. The site usually says there's no problem, at least for me. So, I went directly to Spectrum where there was a large red banner stating they were having an outage issue but were working on it. So check the source directly for accurate information.

Downdetector online is indicating that…
Downdetector online is indicating that there are no outages with Virgin Média. This information is incorrect, there is a major outage from 6pm last night, and although it had texted me at 8:7am after I called VM it won't be resolved until 12:00 original time from speaking with VM last night was 3pm today. Not very helpful looking at Downdetector.

SCAM
Agent chat message stated my card would be charged $1 and refunded upon connecting to an agent. They attempted to charge my card $46. DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE!

i rejected cookies only to realise comments from others in my area would not be accessible so i have tried and tried to open preferences but it just wont but it remembers that i said no and that's it now? 1 star is a bit too much no option for 0. people like me use computers and their services to try and do more and save time but quite often it would be quicker to invent and build these things then use them and rely on them. Another day wasted soon my life will run out and this so called technology will have wasted more than half of it...

Convenient but Missing Features
I like Down Detector because I always use it to check if sites are down if they are not working, But the reason I gave it 4 stars is because it sometimes does not feature the program I need to check. Overall great program

solita ca...ta
solita ca...ta, sono giorni e giorni che migliaia di utenti sono senza fibra Vodafone, in Italia dove sono io, ma leggo anche in Germania, in Spagna, ma proprio in tanti...
a cosa serve quest'app???
Il solito specchietto per allodole ...
tutti si coprono a vicenda ...intressi ...? Mi puzza parecchio...
Non sono credibili, nemmeno li considero più

See real live outages as they happen
Considering tons of news outlets reference their site and numbers I consider them legitimate. I've found them extremely helpful on multiple occasions. And especially today's worldwide outage. 5 stars

Top!
Servizio utilissimo per vedere quando e dove un servizio è offline. Non si sbaglia mai ed è sempre aggiornato al minuto. Assolutamente consigliato!
