I'm in Western North Carolina, and from my experience the problem lies
with Charter cable and Roadrunner cable. I have a rather large client
that has an office in this county and the next county over; this office
uses Charter, and the other office uses Roadrunner.
When they first switched their emails to my account, it took just over
2 weeks for their ISPs to propogate correctly! You can imagine the
calls, because one office couldn't email the other for that amount of
time. The ISPs finally assigned a static IP address to each office,
which solved the inter-office problem, but they still had problems with
anyone else using cable internet.
I had the same problem with another client using Charter internet a few
weeks ago, so I know that the problem hasn't been corrected on their
end; in fact, they refuse to acknowledge it. The site went "live" on
8/10/06, and as of 8/23/06, people were still seeing the old site. I
put in a PHP redirect page, which got rid of the complaints from the
site owner, but I know that emails weren't going through correctly (and
still might not be).
