That is true but I find these to be only moderately useful, and a lot of work to keep up with if you really care. You need to know how to interpret the little information they gave you: the name of your upstream switches. These notifications are useful for the "big picture" and if you're willing to make some calls you might even find out if a planned maintenance will affect you, but often you won't. Good luck with that. -Chris On 2/15/2013 6:19 AM, Mitch wrote:

Our CenturyLink rep told us we would have to be "approved" to get advance notifications of planned outages (and then we never heard anything). Great way to run a network. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@hiwaay.net <mailto:cmadams@hiwaay.net>> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. _______________________________________________ Outages mailing list Outages@outages.org <mailto:Outages@outages.org> https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/outages
