I should point out my methodology. I do 20 pings at a time, every five minutes, to a few different places (akamai, google, and yahoo, I think). So if I have one ping lost in a day, that doesn't mean a whole lot as far as uptime. I gave descriptions for each real outage. The others were just a dropped packet here or there. We use iProvo at my office (with Mstar), and have had only one unplanned outage about 6 months ago. I know many other people on iProvo or Utopia who have had similar experiences. Yours is the first negative experience I've heard. I suspect that you are (unfortunately) just connected to some faulty equipment or something. Hopefully they fix whatever is causing problems on your connection. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
