Still awaiting a fix from the backbone connection provider.

Unfortunately, we are still waiting for a fix from the backbone connection provider. Connections continue to be slow or time out.

As it turns out this is not a router hardware issue, but rather a problem with one of our backbone connection providers. Shortly after 7 a.m. Pacific time we disabled the connection that was causing problems, but in doing so we lost half the bandwidth available to the data center, so you may still experience slow loads and time-outs, as this is typically our busiest time for the U.S. data center. Administrators are working with the provider to remedy the issue, but currently we are afraid that we have no ETA for a fix.

We are experiencing dropped packets at one of our routers that is causing latency or timeouts on connections to our Los Angeles data center for many users. System administrators are working on the issue at this time and should have normal operations resumed as soon as possible.
