When is the PlayStation Network going to be back up?

A question everyone seems to be asking lately. The PSN originally went down April 20th and has been down since then. It seems that between April 17th and April 19th, there was a hacker that got into the network and attempted to download sensitive user information. On April 20th, the service was shut down by Sony to prevent any further attack.

Sony writes in its latest PSN update, “We have a clear path to have PlayStation Network and Qriocity systems back online, and expect to restore some services within a week. We’re working day and night to ensure it is done as quickly as possible.” They also wrote, “If you have provided your credit card data through PlayStation Network or Qriocity, out of an abundance of caution we are advising you that your credit card number (excluding security code) and expiration date may have been obtained.”

The most recent development is a class action lawsuit has been filed against Sony on behalf of “approximately 77 million” PSN users. You can view the full complaint here.

No Cable or DSL? No Problem!

Posted by Derek on April 6th, 2011

Do you live in an area with no cable or DSL? All of the Internet Service Providers you’ve called say, “I’m sorry, but you’re too far away.” Your only options are dial up or expensive satellite.

Not anymore!

Wireless Internet

If you live in an area where there is no cable or DSL, you may be able to get Succeed.Net’s Fixed Wireless Broadband. If you have line of sight to one of our towers, you could get internet with cable and DSL speeds, for more reasonable prices than satellite.

How It Works

Wireless Internet uses equipment similar to a home router, called a wireless radio. The radio is mounted to the roof of the house, similar to a satellite dish, and pointed to one of our towers. It connects to this tower wirelessly. From the radio on the roof, an ethernet cable is run into the house, where it can connect to a router or directly to a computer. On your side, you won’t notice any difference from cable or DSL. It’s an Always On connection, there’s no passwords to enter, and the speeds are very similar.

If you’re interested in getting Wireless Internet, contact us at 530-674-4200 option 2 or sales@succeed.net, or go to our Wireless Internet page to view pricing.
