 <title>Rash of ADSL disconnects</title>
 <link>http://Status.ServerNorth.net/index.php?itemid=189</link>
<description><![CDATA[Over the past 2-3 weeks, coincidentally during the <a href="http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/5943/125/">CRTC UBB</a> hearings, we've had a handful of customers report frequent disconnections with their ADSL lines. When we would dig into things, nothing looked out of the ordinary: line heath, modem, router all good. After a few days of instability, the problem goes away.<br />
<br />
After a few of these incidences, we're willing to declare a trend... but that doesn't really help anyone.<br />
<br />
It's also notable that this is the time of year where violent thunderstorms occur and lightning strikes power, phone and cable lines. It happens quite a bit. We've got both cable and DSL modems on hand/in stock.]]></description>

 <title>New CPE hardware</title>
 <link>http://Status.ServerNorth.net/index.php?itemid=188</link>
<description><![CDATA[We've got a new supplier of cable modems, which is going to reduce that $200 setup fee dramatically, probably to about $100 if not a little less.<br />
<br />
Also, we've got a few <a href="http://ubnt.com/airrouter">Ubiquiti AirRouters</a> on hand too, these are fantastic routers with 802.11N wireless too - We're selling them at $85+tax - and they're going fast! Our first shipment arrived on Friday morning, and by Sunday morning we were sold out. The plan is to start offering these as a bundled setup package too. If you'd like to get your hands on one, just send us a note and we'll courier it out immediately.<br />
<br />
And the rumors are true, we have a new website <i>actually</i> coming soon, and it looks good. Really good.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned...]]></description>

 <title>Unexpected PPPoE Router Reboot</title>
 <link>http://Status.ServerNorth.net/index.php?itemid=187</link>
<description><![CDATA[This evening our main PPPoE/ADSL/FTTx router rebooted itself, we don't know why yet.<br />
<br />
 We have a warm spare, however the time required to switch over was more than waiting out the restart and subsequent filesystem checks of the primary.<br />
<br />
We will post an update as things progress.]]></description>
