Since the PlayStation Network problems were confirmed by Sony’s status page yesterday, it now seems that the issues were related to ISP’s and not Sony. Time Warner Cable has highlighted the outage in a number of tweets and mention other ISPs are having problems as well, so one quick fix is to change DNS settings to use Google or Open DNS.
If you see PSN down today, or your connection is not working with random problems, then you could take a look at our earlier article where we featured a very useful comment on fixing the current PSN problems with a DNS change, Obviously, any changes you make are at your own risk and some PS4 / PS3 owners might want to wait it out.
The feedback we’ve received from readers even within the last hour states, “My cable and internet is out with TWC”. Another added, “Time Warner Cable is having issues with Playstation Network and this was confirmed by PS, I’ve not been able to connect to the PSN Network for hours and had a lot of trouble tonight as well”.
TWC first highlighted problems around 13 hours ago and then reconfirmed the link to PSN being down for some customers just 4 hours ago. The tweets below highlight this fact.
We are aware that some areas are experiencing issues with the SEC Network. We are working quickly to resolve this. ^DS

Has Time Warner Cable or PSN been down for you today and if so, did you bother to change DNS or are you waiting it out?
