Please log in for more thread options Anyone know what's going on with Speakeasy? Their support line is overloaded, their web site is down, all queries to the DNS zones they host for me just time out, etc... -B | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Seems a switch went down and took with it access to DNS, web hosting, shell access, AND took out Speakeasy's phone system too! Bear in mind how aggressively Speakeasy is trying to sell VOIP right now: The good news is, they use what they sell. The bad news is, they use what they sell! Oh, the pain of being on the bleeding edge. -B | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Being on the edge of anything has nothing to do with this. Being a bunch of clueless bozos who among other things don't know what a single point of failure can do has everything to do with this. Billy Y.. An EX-speakeasy customer | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

After all, just because they let a single switch knock out web services for an entire region and bring down their entire phone system, just because they designed a backup MX architecture that looped hopelessly and had to completely redesign it (after spending weeks denying anything could be wrong), just because they had to re-engineer it again because their first attempt just dumped it on an already overloaded box, just because they backpedalled on their Usenet news server service when they found out the true costs of providing it, just because a database transfer to a new DNS tool screwed up people's email, just because some customer database "maintenance" screwed up people's dial-up account access, is no reason to go calling them clueless bozos... ;-) Then again, what's the best alternative for affordable biz-class SDSL in NYC? Or even a good ADSL that allows servers, multiple static IPs, etc.? -B | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I have several accounts with a block of 16 static IPs, 3/384 for $120 per month. Which is what Bellsouth wants for the same thing but with phone support on the other side of the planet. Plus I can get a T1 for $600 a month. Just how much do 3rd parties charge for such things in NYC? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
