Did you not read my email through? I HAVE called tech support on 4 different occasions. As of today, this has been ongoing for 10 days. I can reach this IP through other providers but not Cablevision. I am not alone in this matter-there are people in the NY area who cannot reach it as well through Cablevision. This is past being an inconvenience, it has now escalated to ridiculous.

There has been an ongoing problem with Cablevision's connections to particular IP's that belong to US.Shadowfire.org, an IRC server.
I have called tech support and have written emails. The emails have not been answered and tech support is so scattered that no one knows what's going on from one day to the next.
Tracerts and pings to 196.7.148.15 are either 'unreachable' or time out. This is NOT a problem with Shadowfire-it is a problem with Cablevision connecting to it. No other provider has this issue and I have used providers in other locations to connect successfully.
It is the PROVIDER'S responsibility to provide service, but it is sorely lacking both in connectivity and customer response.
We will be looking into DSL connections. I won't do business with a company that can't even respond to a customer's concerns and will tell others interested in changing their providers to avoid Optimum Online/Cablevision
