    When: 8-23-2011 01:00 to 03:00 PDT
    Location: LAX02 / 800 S Hope St
    Impact: Periods of loss of connectivity and high packetloss.
    Summary: Due to recent routing issues, the core routers at LAX02 will have their route processors upgraded along with IOS upgraded.

    Hello,

    We apologize for the short notice, however rather than risk further routing issues we feel it's best to complete this immediately. During this window there will be periods of connectivity loss and/or high packetloss. This work is being done at our second datacenter, only servers deployed in the last 6 months will be impacted, older servers are located at our original datacenter and will be unaffected.

    Future Maintenance: More detailed information to follow later as we are planning several upgrades over the next two months. A brief overview will be to bring online two new providers, Nlayer as a primary provider as several have requested it. Also due to several requests we will be adding Cogent peering. As we acknowledge several others find Cogent unfavorable we wish to assure you this will be for direct access to the Cogent network only and not general bandwidth. The next stage will be to bring online the Internap FCP Route optimizing device we recently purchased. The final stage of upgrades will be to bring ipv6 down to the client level.

    Again, we deeply apologize for the short notice and connectivity issues.

    lol yes, a lot of other hosting companies should follow their example. They have great service and communication. And for every 15 minutes downtime you get a day refund :)
