• June 15, 2004 People are having trouble with yahoo and google this morning. We see the trouble and think it's somewhere on the internet, not on the MIS network. This was determined to be an internet-wide problem related to Akamai - a company that works with these larger internet sites.

• June 7, 2004 6:00-6:45pm. Some people had trouble visiting some internet sites during this time. We traced this down to a problem with New Edge Networks, an internet provider "upstream" from MIS. We disconnected our links from NewEdge during this time and traffic took a different path that is working properly.
• June 4, 2004 2:00pm. lincoln.midcoast.com was out of service for a few minutes for an unscheduled rebooting.
