Check out the nice graph of MAE-East for that last 5 days. When are they
going to get a generator installed? Why can't you pay for a generator when
you are charging +30 people $5,700 a month?
I was over at MAE-East installing some equipment sometime early
this summer & I was talking with some MFS folks. They were looking
at the AC powered gear that I was installing & were wondering why
I did not do DC - they said that there was *lots* of DC capacity
(all battery backed) at MAE-East. Last week I was over there again
& poked around. I think that I only saw *two* folks that were
using DC - everyone else was on AC.
So what are you using? AC or DC? If you are not on DC, I would
switch. Maybe you would have better luck.
As far as uptime goes - some folks have not seen any outages -
Digex has been up for 3+ weeks; ICM for 2+ weeks. It does look
like all BGP sessions reset 2days9hours ago.

You took the words right out of my mouth. -48vDC is *so* much cleaner
and less troublesome than mains AC (or even upsed AC) that I urge all
my clients to use it for *everything* whenever it's available.

The lame extended NetEdge thing, I am moving to a 7505 with and Cascade
9000 with a OC3c to my POP in Arlington. When I do that I will be DC. The
DC is all battery backed, but it is not on a generator and has gone down
many times.
