[plug] Dead internet

[Shayne O'Neill]

Nah turns out someone upstream screwed up and advertised our /24 range
at work, and kinda stole our routing.

Took eftel a bit to work out what was going on, but it came good in the
end.

Man you really should see the chaos that goes on when a large multi
million dollar dotcom loses its /24. 

It'd be kinda comical in a horrible way if it wasn't for the fact I was
the guy tasked to fix it, then its rather not fun.

I have  been away from my PC all day so couldn't answer you until now
... but I am with eftel.  Email is not the instant gratification it
promises, eh?  FWIW, I am seeing nothing out of the ordinary ATM.

Do you mean that you can't logon, or not getting good internet traffic?
If the latter, then that happens sometimes, but soon passes.  Useless
answer, more reassurance than anything :-)  I'll be leaving eftel soon
anyway ;-)
