Earthlink is down
« on: December 12, 2016, 12:48:09 PM »
Earthlink is almost never down, I have my capecod dot net with them.
They bought a ton of email companies a long time ago.
But today they are down all over the USA.

Will be interesting to see what the cause was, probably find out tomorrow.

Just as I was sending all my Christmas and holiday cards, the email ones, out.

Actually, it's been down at least twice this month, alone. My wife has an addy there she refuses to cancel since it published in a printed directory that comes out each year. I keep trying to persuade her to change it about two months before that printing comes out or just have it forward things for about six months or even longer... wallbash.gif

I came back after dinner to find Comcast interweb is down. I wonder if has anything to do wither the PE and Tweets. Thinking.gif I don't think so, it's only 8:15 pm on the 'right' coast... those things tend to be much later (or much earlier) in the day. rolleyes.gif

I switched over to my gmail. And noticed our Comcast email was out for just a short while too.
But the net was fine here.

This morning everything seems fine.
That outage site is interesting.
