July 2006

• July 31, 2006 11:05-11:20am. Many people experienced an outage during this time frame. An important router at our Rockland datacenter had trouble and needed a swift kick.
• July 27, 2006 12:30pm. There will be about a ten minute outage in Belfast for DSL and wireless while some network maintenance is being performed.
• July 24, 2006 6:30pm. A problem has been found on North Haven which is affecting the speed of wireless customers. One of the Access Points on the Water tower have failed. This should not be causing an outage, but most everyone will notice a slow down while the other access points pick up the slack. We will be working promptly to get it fixed on Tuesday.
• July 19, 2006 Power is restored to most locations. Some equipment was also damaged and replaced at some locations. Quarry Hill in Camden, and the Islesboro school are still without service and we are working on them.
• July 18, 2006 3:45pm. Our Clary Hill, Barret Hill, Hatchet Mountain, Ragged, Glen Cove, Rockport, Camden, and now Islesboro wireless sites have lost power due to a storm related electrical utility outage.
• July 11, 2006 4:15pm. Our Clary Hill wireless site has lost power due to an electrical utility outage.
• July 11, 2006 8am. Our 1-500 numbers don't seem to be answering this morning. We're looking into it. This is a good chance to remind you, though, that the 1-500 numbers are destined to be disconnected. Please move over to the new local numbers. Update: 10:00am. The problem has been corrected by restarting our phone switch.
• July 6, 2006 8:05-8:40pm. Dialup, Camden area wireless, and Verizon area DSL were out of service during this time. This problem was caused by a failed UPS that powers some of our fiber optic equipment in our Rockland datacenter. The UPS has been replaced and things are back to normal.
