29 Dec '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Just saw this: [snip] AT&T customers in Chicago have been experiencing disruptions in cell phone service throughout the day due to a power failure in Michigan Sunday morning. AT&T spokeswoman Meghan Roskopf, also experiencing service disruption, said via email that technicians are working to restore the equipment Sunday afternoon. "At about 9:30 a.m. CST on Dec. 28, a power failure impacted an AT&T facility in Bloomfield, MI. This situation has resulted in intermittent disruption of mobile services for customers in some Midwest states," Roskopf said in a statement. "Backup power has subsequently been restored, and AT&T technicians currently are working to fully restore the impacted equipment." At 5 p.m., Roskopf said "a substantial portion of the impacted equipment was back in service" and that crews would be working "around the clock" to repair the damage.

Internet Outage in Samoa
by Franck Martin 29 Dec '08

29 Dec '08

No Internet access during Xmas For the last four days – since Christmas to be exact – the Samoa Observer has not had access to the Internet. Both the Internet Café on Beach Road and the Vaitele editorial office were denied access. Which means updating its website during that time was not possible. The problem is that its Internet host Computer Services Ltd (CSL) has struck some problems of its own. Business Development Manager, Dave Main, said three power outages on Christmas Day caused “massive damage” to their equipment. They have been working virtually non-stop since to restore their system to normal working order. As of late afternoon yesterday , three quarters of their system had been restored, Mr Main said. “A lot of things have either been repaired or replaced in the last couple of days,” he said. The last quarter of their system would be restored “sometime tonight ” (last night). It required re-establishing the link between a tower to Apia city. “We’re trying to repair one tower with the parts of another. Just bear with us.” So to produce the paper you are now reading, we had to rely on services provided by Clicknet at Saleufi and iPlay at the Nia Mall, to whom we say thank you. So let’s hope our host’s problems will be sorted out soon.

Re: [outages] major reachability issues?

Update: seems to be Level3 in particular that's having issues, though not sure where ... www.internetpulse.com shows major issues with them. ----- Original Message ----- From: Adam Greene To: outages(a)outages.org Sent: Sunday, December 28, 2008 1:15 PM Subject: major reachability issues? Hi, Just noticed some major reachability issues to 192.149.252.76 (www.arin.net) 64.18.8.11 (login.postini.com) www.amazon.com and others. These seem to be independent of any one provider -- I'm seeing them from Time Warner, Level 3, ATT ... some work better than others ... for example, ARIN seems available if the route goes through PNAP. Is there some kind of major issue happening that others are seeing as well? Thanks, adam

by Janet Sullivan 25 Dec '08

25 Dec '08

Did anyone else see potential issues on L(3)'s network, possibly around Chicago, around noon PST? We had about a 10 minute dip in traffic, but it cleared before a full investigation could be done. Just wondering if someone else saw something...

Not quite an outage, but on its way to being one. If anyone has equipment at Cogent's 427 S La Salle datacenter in Chicago, compressors in each A/C unit have failed, and room temp is upwards of 100F. Cogent has been notified but I was not provided with a master ticket #. -brandon -- Sent from my mobile device Brandon Galbraith Voice: 630.400.6992 Email: brandon.galbraith(a)gmail.com
