North Bay Area Outage

We are currently experiencing an outage affecting Fusion and FlexLink customers in the north bay area. We are working on restoring service and will provide an update shortly.

-Tim and Jared

Update: As of 4:30PM all service has been restored. Routine network maintenance inadvertently caused a portion of our CLEC network to stop forwarding traffic. We will be working with our equipment vendor and internally to ensure we do not experience another outage of this nature.

DDoS Attack

Starting at about 2:24 PM today, a distributed denial of service attack was launched at one of our DSL subscribers. This DDoS was large enough to disrupt service to the Redback SMS DSL aggregation router that served this customer and several hundred others.
