Network carrier issues (ViaEuropa)

Network carrier issues (ViaEuropa)

ViaEuropa yet again seems to be suffering from major network issues. They were suppose to upgrade their internal network today at 12.00 (12.00PM) – 13.00 (01.00PM) to 10 Gbit/s with an estimated downtime of 5-20 minutes.

Here we are at 18.35 and the network is still unbelievable unstable. Every time I lose connection to the network, www.viaeuropa.se becomes unreachable at the same time. So what can we conclude from this? ViaEuropa’s 5-20 minutes downtime did not add up ;).

What else, they don’t feel like updating their page so customers know what is going on; they just refer you to your ISP, in my case PirateISP. But how are they supposed to know about ViaEuropa failed upgrade, why not just post 1 announcement on ViaEuropa.se to keep customers happy? It’s just not in ViaEuropa’s nature.
