After my server alert network called and left me messages I realized this server was down, and had been down for over an hour. I left work and came home for lunch to find the cable modem flashing and laughing at me (integrated taunting voice chip). After contacting Road Runner I learned the outage was area wide with no estimated down time. With more than 45 minutes left in my lunch, I decided to try using my phone as a modem for a short while to see if it would work. Surprisingly Verizon doesn't block any incoming port request and between 11:45 and 12:15 the server again had connectivity. Once I realized I only have 200 peak hour minutes the excitement faded and connectivity was again dropped.
Initial Outage: 10:00am - 11:15am
Second Outage: 12:15am - 3:56pm
