MHSC has been down since 7Feb01 and Covad is the culprit. MHSC pays its bills, but Covad had a problem with my upstream. On Wednesday, 7Feb01, Covad cut off all links and feeds to my upstream. I've been down ever since. Everyone knows how quickly telcos turn up services, that's why co-lo centers have customers. Covad cut off MHSC access, without warning, without, compansation, and their SafetyNet program is the worst joke. I have a /24 and the new ISPs, that Covad is forcing me to use, can't assign a new /24. Shit, one of them can't even assign one static address. The one that this is going out thru tis trying to convince me that I can run 62 computers, using 130 IP addrs, on a /27 <heh>. We talked earlier about how non-portable addresses suck. Here is the reason why. I either use one of their SafetyNet providers or suffer up to 45 days of outage. Two weeks of warning and I would have been able to avoid the outage. (BTW, my ISDN backup feed is dead as well). I've tried contacting Covad, thier executive staff, etc. No joy there, Covad doesn't care.
Hmm, gee, isn't there a cliche' that fits this exact problem? Something about eggs? --Adam
