Nocster down
I am having trouble access my Nocster server this morning.
According to the tech I talked to on the phone, it is a result of an installation that involves the routers, and they they had to disable an interface.
I consider this completely unacceptable. I can't believe that they do business this way.
I hope it comes back up soon.*AlphaOmegaHosting.Com* - Hosting since 1998

Hardware failure/upgrades are part of running a datacenter. You cant say its "unacceptable" because it HAS to happen occassionally.

It would certainly be nice to know about these things ahead of time wouldn't it? I am seeing ping times ranging from 1000ms all the way up to 7600ms, always through the sprintlink connection.
Occassionally it drops to an acceptibe rate, but it doesn't seem to be lasting for more than a few minutes.
Oh well, hopefully the upgrade will go quickly and things can return to normal soon.<!-- boo! -->

What I was told is AT&T was having network Troubles , so they Switched Everything to Sprint and UUnet.

You should get used to it. Happens every 2-3 days at BurstNET/Nocster.

You better check your facts "thetruestory". Hardware issues happen, there aren't any providers that are immune to these things.
Oh, every two to three days? Hardly

"This is unacceptable"
Well, no, it's a perfectly acceptable glitch.
What's wrong with people? I see people everywhere claiming "it's my right, you're violating my rights" and so forth. Now everything is unacceptable just because it causes a small inconvenience to you.
Well, get used to it and quit whining like you are sooo outraged....

I've had a server at RackShack now for 45 days and have experienced 100% uptime on my network Segment. So if you have a problem with your provider's uptime, you can always move
Nocster sounds pretty good though from their sales responses, so I'd give them a little bit more of a chance. A few minutes of downtime is unavoidable, as long as it doesn't happen again for at least a few months. And if it was scheduled maintenance/upgrades rather than an emergency cutover, maybe the email notification got lost along the way and next time you will be informed in advance. Do they have a support forum or how do you get announcements from Burst/Nocster?Last edited by panopticon; 06-20-2002 at 02:23 PM.

No worries, they are taking care of things. To my knowledge there haven't been any actual network blackouts yet, just some slow downs while they switch things around and take care of business.
Unnacceptable? This is hardly that, it's merely an inconvenience and a mild one at that.<!-- boo! -->

if you are looking for mission critical hosting go to rackspace

If you were a BurstNET client for more than a year you would know what the truth is. The network goes down all the time, soemtimes for 3 hours at 4am with absolutely no explanation. Once youre with them for long enough, you will have the same experience. Youll remember me.
Its unacceptable for BurstNET clients who pay $500 for reliability. 99.5% uptime guarantee? Thats 3.5 hours/month downtime. They screw that up in 1 night.

Why don't you do that now, as it is tiring to read your posts . You want to be a coward, fine, but it will only make you look like a complete fool when the time comes to 'unmask' thetruestory. Silliness... just silliness...
Maybe I'm getting too old for this...
Edit to fix very bad spelling: How many times do I have the kids repeat, "Change the y to i..." and I write 'sillyness'Last edited by Chicken; 06-21-2002 at 03:30 AM.

I have been in the networking industry for 12 years. I regularly perform maintenance for many large Fotrune 500 companies. We never do installations that could effect network availability without notice and during a time that is more acceptable to problems....ie 4am.
It is unacceptable to knowingly (atleast according to the tech I talked to) make changes to the network in such a way that it will effect customer access. I have been in similar situations many times. If you come to a point in an install where something has to be turned off or restarted. You stop and wait for your downtime window.*AlphaOmegaHosting.Com* - Hosting since 1998

Frankly I am tired of your unsubstantiated whining. You sound like you're a WHT member, trolling under a different name.
Go whine somewhere else.
