Fusion Voice Feature Updates

All Fusion Voice customers can now enable Call Forwarding directly from their phones as well as in the updated Voice Options membertool.  In addition to being able to control call forwarding, the new Voice Options membertool can also manage Voicemail settings, disable Call Waiting, enable Caller ID Blocking, and enable international long distance dialing.  Please note, while planned, *72 and *73 do not work at this time. 707-583-7702 and 707-583-7703 can be used in their place.  For more information check out the forums.  -Kelsey and Chris

Brief Backbone Service Interruption

At approximately 10:50 AM this morning, some routine router configuration caused an unexpected loss of connectivity for some of our POPs surrounding the Santa Rosa area. Service was restored at 10:55 AM. We are monitoring the situation, and looking into why innocuous configuration would cause this outage.
