Denver, CO | July 2009 Outages FRII DSL (over Qwest) was out the morning of Tuesday, July 21, I believe, with FRII tech support saying that a piece of equipment in Denver was out and was being repaired as quickly as possible.
Today, Friday the 24th, FRII DSL has been out again, all day, and also this time I have been unable to access the FRII website or web-based e-mail even through other ISP access. The FRII phone system has been reporting this afternoon that their "backbone circuit provider is experiencing an outage, which is affecting all FRII services. We do not have an estimated time of repair.....we are working with our provider to resolve this issue as soon as possible."
Service appears just to have come back up in the last few minutes, after 5pm MST. Traceroutes I just ran, indicate that FRII's traffic routes through cogentco.com.
Does anyone know the details of what is going on? Has FRII just been unlucky, or is this a sign that their network and service are deteriorating? I haven't been aware of any problems of this magnitude, since a Redback went down about ten years ago and resulted in an outage (at least for DSL) that went on for the better part of a day, if I recall. |
