Our server hosting provider, Red Anvil, is expecting a short upstream connectivity outage on Tuesday 8/02, between 3am and 7am CST. This is a minor equipment change by Cogent and is expected to only be a 5 minute outage, but due to routing complexity or the unforseen, could be as long as 30 minutes.

In other news, Red Anvil will also be bringing up a second connection to Time Warner Cable in the next month, adding redundancy and performance benefits to the existing Cogent bandwidth. Users of the Road Runner cable modem networks (and others) may notice a substantial performance increase with this upgrade.
