Charter Customer Service


This is a chat I had with Charter Communications when I was unable to reach a specific domain

Dan, you are currently number 1 in the queue... Thank you for your patience!...
You have been connected to Juvy.

Juvy:  Hello, Dan! It's a great day here at Charter Communications! I am Juvy. How can I make you smile today?

Dan:  Hi Juvy, I'm unable to reach this web address: http://developer.lgmobile.com

Juvy:  That is bad news.

Juvy:  Can you try adding an s to http?

Juvy:  Try https://developer.lgmobile.com

The agent is sending you to https://developer.lgmobile.com.

Juvy:  Please click on that link.

Juvy:  Does it work, Dan?

Dan:  no, unfortunately not

Juvy:  What is the error message?

Dan:  I have performed a tracert and have the results for you if that would help

Juvy:  Thank you for the information, Dan.

Juvy:  What is the error message?

Dan:  The error message is "This webpage is unavailable"

Juvy:  Let me please ping the site, Dan.

Juvy:  It is not returning any results.

Juvy:  Have you tried it from another browser?

Dan:  yes

Juvy:  Can you try releasing and renewing your IP address?

Dan:  I've already tried that as well

Dan:  it's been this way for a few days now

Juvy:  Do you have another error message aside from that?

Dan:  I have the results of a tracert, may i send that to you?

Juvy:  Let me please check your traceroute result, Dan.

Juvy:  I was about to ask you.

Juvy:  Thank you.

Dan:  There isn't enough room to paste all of it here, so I will just show you where the problem is:

Dan:  12 23 ms 23 ms 24 ms bbr01gnvlsc-bue-1.gnvl.sc.charter.com [96.34.0.43]

Juvy:  Thank you .

Juvy:  That is a business site, right?

Dan:  yes, I believe so

Juvy:  What firewall do you have?

Dan:  it's LG mobile's site

Juvy:  Thank you.

Juvy:  What firewall do you have, Dan?

Dan:  I have the normal windows firewall on my computer

Juvy:  Can you please try disabling it first then try to access the said site?

Juvy:  How is it going, Dan?

Dan:  I've disabled the firewall, but that didn't help

Juvy:  Thank you.

Dan:  according to the tracert it appears the error is occurring outside of my home network

Juvy:  You are correct.

Juvy:  I suspect the said site is currently down.

Juvy:  Have you tried calling LG office?

Dan:  The site is reachable from other networks. can you access the site?

Juvy:  No, I can't.

Dan:  http://www.isup.me/developer.lgmobile.com

Juvy:  Charter may be blocking the said IP.

Dan:  is there an email address that I can send my tracert in order to help charter figure out the problem?

Juvy:  I am so sorry but I cannot receive emails from customers. Dan, it would be best of you call us and ask if this site is being blocked by our security system.

Juvy:  The number to call is 1-888-438-2427.

Juvy:  I do not have the tools to check on that.

Dan:  Explaining the situation over the phone is quite difficult. Can you create a ticket for me with your tech support?

Juvy:  Sure, I can.

Juvy:  I have a better way to help resolve this issue, Dan.

Juvy:  May I please transfer you to a supervisor so they cn make a request to our Dispatch Team to check on this connectivity issue?

Dan:  sure thank you

Juvy:  You are welcome, Dan.

Juvy:  Thank you for helping me resolve your issue.

Juvy:  Are there other concerns before I do that?

Dan:  here is a document that shows the whole tracert:

Dan:  http://bit.ly/X5y8bj

Dan:  no concerns, I just want to make sure Charter is aware of the problem on their network

Juvy:  Thank you for providing me th result, Dan.

Juvy:  I am so sorry for the inconvenience.

Juvy:  Please stay online.
