• March 29, 2003 11:00am. The modem server on 5636622 that had trouble on the 22nd acted up again today. We will be replacing it this afternoon.
• March 25, 2003 8:00-8:25am. People using 5636622 had trouble this morning. We believe it was a Tidewater problem as work was being done at our Nobleboro site this morning by Tidewater employees while the problem occurred. No problems were found with our equipment or links after thouroughly investigating afterwards. 5636622 should be fine to use now.
• March 22, 2003 11:00am. Some people called with trouble this morning on 5636622. We investigated, found a modem server that was down a couple of modems, shut it down and put new modem cards in. This equipment is working at proper full capabilities now. Some people using 5636622 were booted off while this hardware change took place, but it was necessary for proper operation of the 5636622 number.

• March 3, 2003 Damariscotta customers and Belfast wireless customers had trouble earlier this morning. This was due to flooding at our old place in Owls Head. The UPSs were partly submerged causing the power to go out for this equipment. By 8:15am, new UPSs and a sump pump were installed and things are now working again.
• March 1, 2003 Lincolnville DSL is not working this evening. It appears to be a problem requiring work by Tidewater repair. Tidewater has been notified. Update March 2, 2003 9:00am. Tidewater has fixed this and DSL is working again.
