Cable and Wirelss - New York

Information Only, All of Vortech's servers are up and running:

We have had several users calling in about their sites being down, they are not. Everything is up and working fine here, trace routes lead us to beleive that it's cable and wireless in New York. The customer calls have been coming mostly Canada, and we've had a few from South America and the Caribbean. Its seems Cable and Wireless's South American lines also route via NY. This just to let you know what's going on so if you have any customers in these areas have them do a trace route FIRST before sending us a TT. This will keep our tickets down.

If you have any infomation on this issue please post it here so we can get a better idea of what is going on.

There also seems to be a router somewhere in Turkey experiencing extreme latencies.

I bet its those solar storms photons + routers = bad

a little late, but here's a nice animated gif that explains what the problem was....
