Re: Utopia - Mstar support forum?
Just noticed the website is back up as well. Not that that helps in any way. |

My Mstar Utopia service is back online. Roughly a 12 hour outage...
If anyone finds out the real root cause, please share  |

engineerastan -
A bridging loop was originating from Utopia, Voice and Data were looped at somebody's house which caused excessive broadcasta and mac flapping. This took down MSTAR's routers, the reason it took so long to fix was a bug in the CISCO code on the router's itself. »www.freeutopia.org/bbpress/topic/mstar-down
Grabbed this quote from the "Free UTOPIA!" forums in case anyone still wanted to know what happened. |

said by dsl_er  :Hypothetically, if one wanted to switch to another ISP serving the Utopia network, what would it take? Would the current ISP need to release the customer prior to anything happening? Turnaround time etc..? Call the new ISP and order service. It can be hotswapped that day. We took a few dozen new subscribers during that outage yesterday.
Some UTOPIA service may be under contract, though, so of course you might need to consider any penalties from your existing provider. But the physical migration is a simple software toggle. |
