Network Outage
Our upstream provider, Cogent Communications, had an equipment failure at 1102 Grand in Kansas City Missouri It took down the entire network!
For obvious reasons, I've always mistrusted Missourians. Anyway......
It took a couple hours to debug the problem because there were two upstream service providers involved, but everyone worked together nicely and we got things back up in a reasonable time frame.
We'd love to have a redundant link to KC, but L3, Sprint, AT&T all provided price quotes in excess of $15,000/Mo, which isn't affordable.
Anyway, sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.
