Internet out PHX 85021 Increased Internet traffic

Internet has been out for an entire week. I can get on Youtube and some other sites but I'm unable to connect to Steam Discord etc. Was supposed to be fixed this morning at 12 but now there is no eta. This is insane.

    You're connected to the Internet but some sites are unreachable?  Have you tried to reset your modem via the function in your Cox account?  What's the make and model of your modem?  Any unusual indications with its lights?  Provide your OS and we can provide how to clear your DNS cache.

        If you can't connect to one site, it's probably the site.  However, if you can't connect to numerous site, it's probably how you get to the sites.  How you get to the sites is DNS.

    You should perform a tracert. If some sites are working, your internet is online. This sounds like an Internet backbone issue, and may not be in Cox's hands to fix. A traceroute would confirm that.

      Use a computer and run traceroutes to a number of places, notate which ones complete, and which ones fail, and what hop/ip address did they fail.
