X-URL: http://www.OMNIport.net/ Subject: Upstream connectivity update Hello, This is the third day since the loss of our high-speed local loop line. OMNIport Technical Support has been brain storming and rattling cages to come up with faster alternatives to our current low-bandwidth workaround for our high-speed upstream link. All avenues open to us will take 7 to 10 days to be put in place. 7 to 10 days is also the amount of time we are currently being informed that it will take to get our high-speed circuit back up through another provider. Thus, it looks like we will have to endure 7 to 10 days of slow connectivity. While the circuit is being moved, we will continue to research other alternatives and try to improve our bandwidth and bandwidth use. As if to add insult to injury during this crisis, our name server stopped reponding to requests for a long while today. All is back in normal operation and measures are being developed to detect and correct this sort of outtage so that there will be no loss of this important service in the future. We will endeavor to keep you informed about late-breaking news concerning our connectivity. Please stop by the OMNIport News Port for more info: http://www.omniport.net/news/ Thank you for your continued patience. Regards, OMNIport Technical Support
