Disk Usage Notifications
Our systems experienced a glitch in how we calculated disk usage for customers between November 29th and 30th. We have corrected the error, and no action is needed to ensure that you are billed correctly for the month. Some customers received an email (in error) notification that disk usage was over quota. We apologize for any confusion this has caused and have taken steps to ensure the same glitch does not happen again.
To view your account’s current disk usage, please visit our Member Tools page and go to Account -> Resource Usage -> Current Disk Usage.

Sonic Network Outage
Sonic is currently experiencing a network wide issue. Some locations and services have been restored. We are working fast to get everyone up and will update with more information
Network Engineering
Update(12:56pm) – We believe all services should be restored.
Followup(2:32pm) – This outage was caused by a member of our team applying route filtering changes to core networking equipment. The new filtering policy was tested in a lab environment, but testing failed to take into account certain real-world conditions. The problem became apparent almost immediately but our engineering team required time to restore all equipment to it’s previous state. We will be going over and reinforcing proper testing and procedure to ensure any preventable outages do not occur in the future.
Our sincere apologies, and thank you for your patience
