Summary
Forum users reported a DSL outage beginning early on July 28, 2009, followed by a same-day report that service had returned. On August 20–21, users again reported very slow speeds, packet loss, and intermittent recovery while TDS worked on the problem.
Evidence limits
This preserves contemporaneous user reports and individual network tests. It does not provide a provider incident record, an island-wide service map, or a uniform measure of subscriber impact.

- Jeff reported that the DSL system had gone down at 4:35 a.m. on July 28, that repair equipment was expected, and later that service was back. This is a contemporaneous user report, not a TDS incident ticket or independent network measurement.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 01 · t001803
- Users reported speeds below their usual levels, packet loss, and intermittent recovery; one user said TDS acknowledged a problem. The embedded ping and traceroute results are individual measurements and do not establish service conditions for every subscriber.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 01 · t001851
