    This is significant. I can't even contact the VPS provider I use. Do you know what time this issue started?

    Supposedly it's Colo4 in Dallas. I first started seeing issues around 12:15 EST. From what we are hearing from our provider there is still no ETA

    Agreed on the timing. Follow updates here: https://accounts.colo4.com/status/ or http://twitter.com/#!/XDNOC

    Interesting that Colo4 is saying that it's the ATS, and if you have A/B power to your racks you should be fine. But then I'm seeing lots of posts from people with A/B power saying they are still down. #somethingisfishy

    Looks like it's down yet again. They too busy watching JR to worry about sorting out their routing?
