Armstrong outages and problems
In the past 24 hours, 129 user reports came in for Armstrong. Counting only the 15-minute windows with a spike big enough to count as an outage, that comes to 100.00% uptime for the day.
The busiest 15-minute window had 7 reports, about 7 hours ago. That stays below our outage threshold, so it doesn't count as downtime.

How to fix Armstrong not working
Armstrong is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach armstrongonewire.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Reload Armstrong in a private window
Open a private or incognito window, sign in again, and load the page that failed. That skips your extensions and old cookies, so if the page works you know to disable extensions one by one or clear the site data in your normal browser.
Clear Armstrong site data
In Chrome, go to Settings > Privacy and security > Delete browsing data, then choose Cookies and other site data and Cached images and files; on macOS Safari, choose Safari > Settings > Privacy > Manage Website Data and remove the entry for the service. A stale cookie can leave you stuck on a broken sign-in loop, while the cached script keeps reloading the same failure.
Rule out Armstrong network blocks
Disconnect any VPN or proxy, then load the service on cellular data. If it fails only on your usual Wi-Fi, set the router DNS to 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 or set a custom DNS in your device network settings; a local resolver can return a bad address while the service itself is fine.
Capture an Armstrong browser trace
Open DevTools with F12 or Ctrl+Shift+I, go to the Network tab, tick Preserve log, and reproduce the failure. Save the HAR file. Write down the exact error text you see; that trace shows whether a request was blocked or the page never loaded at all.
While Armstrong is down: what to use instead
- Mobile data Turn off Wi-Fi on your phone to keep messages and maps working when the home connection drops.
- Mobile hotspot Use your phone's hotspot for a laptop if you need to send a file or check an account before service returns.
- Public Wi-Fi Use a library or cafe network for longer tasks when your home connection is out.
- Phone support Call the provider from a mobile phone to report the outage and get updates if the app or website will not load.
Problems at the same time as Armstrong
Since 27 October, Armstrong's only spike in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.
When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

What happens when Armstrong goes down
Armstrong is a regional cable and internet provider for homes and businesses, and its broadband line feeds work VPNs, streaming apps, smart thermostats, and security cameras. When the service drops, those devices lose their outside connection and the cable box can stall on the guide or on-demand menu.
You may see a page hang on 'This site can't be reached' while the router still shows a connection; a phone may report 'Connected, no internet.' Work VPNs drop first because they need a stable route; streaming apps fall back to buffering, smart thermostats and cameras go offline, and email stops syncing. TV may keep playing. Outages often hit a node or a single street, so you lose broadband while the cable guide still loads; on-demand can fail while internet stays up.

How we track Armstrong
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Armstrong, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Armstrong, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Armstrong doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
