ATM Customer Aggregation Router Reload

This upcoming Friday, April 10 at 12:01 AM, we will be performing a maintenance reload on our ATM customer aggregation routers. This will result in 5-10 minutes of downtime for Business-T and FRATM customers.

Update: The maintenance reloads were completed without issue. Total downtime for affected customers was under 10 minutes.

T1 Cable Maintenance

This Wednesday, April 8 at 12:01 AM, we will be doing brief cable maintenance on the DS3 that backhauls some of our T1 capacity in our San Francisco POP. This will result in approximately 15 minutes of downtime for T1 customers on the affected DS3.

Intermittent DHCP Issue

At 11 AM today we proactively failed out of service a DHCP server that serves DHCP to some DSL customers in the Bay Area and Sacramento area due to a RAID disk failure. The DHCP traffic fell back to our backup DHCP server. Unbeknownst to us, the backup DHCP server had a hardware issue that was causing it to respond to DHCP lease requests slowly, thus causing intermittent DHCP service to the affected customers. We have restored the primary DHCP server while we diagnose and repair the backup server. We apologize for any interruption of service that this DHCP issue caused.
