ET Brought Down by Garbage Truck

=======================

Cant blame the NYSE for that even though Bellsouth is listed there.

Another thing i like about Bell south ;
they give me a credit for down time like one days $ credit

 

LMAO. Yestserday was rough for me. I always depend on ET for a good morning chuckle.

 

Garbage truck, eh? I hate when that happens.

 

"As he was being led away by local police, the driver was heard sneering, 'Vinny Gigante says hello...muahahaha'"...

 

Baron,

Do you have an SLA with your hosting/co-lo provider??? You should be able to get one month's free due to all that downtime. I'm sure it broke the normal 99.999% uptime guarantee.

OC-192 would have been the fiberoptic cable at that time.
It goes
DS3
OC3
OC12
OC48
OC192

 

Doesn't a garbage truck hit ET every morning?? Har, har, har

SLA's are meaningless. Further, if you read your SLA, it will say that they will reimburse you for the fraction of the time that he was down.

So if there are on average 30 days in a month, with 24 hours in 1 day, that is 720 hours of "uptime" a month. Let's say ET was down 18 hours. That would be 18/720, or 2.5%. If Baron pays say $1000/M a month for his colocation (I really doubt it, but just to make the numbers easy) they would owe him $25. BFD.

But will he collect it ...

 

Rather than collecting... I think he'll get a credit on next month's payment...

I think...

 

I didn't know Florida even had a garbage truck !!
