We Saw It First

AT&T's DSL service went down yesterday in the Western states. Our monitoring board lit up like a Christmas tree all at once. Our company is apparently using AT&T DSL for a lot of VPN traffic, or making our Internet traffic safe from your prying eyes.

We had Qwest chasing their tails for quite a while, telling us it wasn't they who were having any problems. Finally we realized our traces were dying at an AT&T router.

That was a hectic little spell I didn't need at the end of a 10-hour all-night shift. My firm and long-held belief that AT&T sucks donkey has been reaffirmed.




I know. What a lame post. Really, it's hard to come up with anything when you work all night and sleep all day. I'll work harder.
