Looks like everything is restored. Word on the street is squirrel damage to another part of the data center triggered an equipment overload in a section of the main east coast data center in Ashburn which took our network down too. Equipment needed to be reset to restore that section of the data center which caused a significant slow down in our internet speed. The repair and reset all happened very quickly, looks like everything was back up within 90 minutes once the equipment was reset.

Emergency back ups are currently providing connectivity and will be spotty until the storm front passes thru for the next hour or two. Primary connection continues to be worked on.

Wait, there are dying birds?
