I just got the email too. That's a pretty long time to think up "car crash". Where was the email when the outage started?

Maybe they host their own email server. That would certainly explain the long delay.

Car Crash? So there is only one fiber connection.. No failover. I'm sure different providers are taking different routes so it's unlikely to take out multiples. And most fiber is below ground (at least in the US) unless it absolutely has to be run on the poles over a bridge or something.

They do. and it doesn't even have a vaild SSL Cert. It's self-signed. https://mail.cloudatcost.com/mail/

I wonder how many employees to accounts they have on staff?

Except the cloud platform is still down.

2-5 is my guess.
5 employees per account?

That would be cutting some serious corners, but we already know that they do cut corners with redundancy.

I think he meant total

OH! LOL. That's very different. But makes way more sense.

Curious,..I know most 'cable' is on the pole... but isn't most fiber in ground?

Usually. It can be on a pole but it's rather rare.

This is a really significant outage. How many hours has it been?

I filed a paypal dispute for my two Dev 1 and the BigDog 1 instance.
Now gotta figure out how to get some data off of one of them.
-
They said they expect to be up by 8PM EST.
Somehow you really question how the heck Cloud@cost is running. They are supposedly a fiber provider. They have stated they have two different providers of fiber backbone and they have a wireless backhaul yet, a small outage takes most of them out. Is this running out of someones house? Really. Ever heard of BGP C@C?
Rogers does have some outages but still they are suppose to plan for this.
