• March 30, 2001 5:30-5:45pm. The 5939397 and one of the 236 and one of the 832 and 338 numbers had been slow this afternoon. This was traced to some faulty equipment in Rockland at our office and that has been replaced. (We replaced 2 items at the same time, so we don't yet know which was the culprit).
• March 28, 2001 6:00pm. C&W, an important "upstream" connection to the internet had some trouble switching over our internet traffic from the old T1 to the new dual T1. This caused many people not to be able to get places starting at this time. C&W has been notified and is fixing things. 7:20 pm C&W has fixed this and we are on the new dual-T1 system now.
