2010.08.17 City of Mount Vernon and Seattle IX had network issues today
posted by admin on 08/17/10
There were some problems with both the City of Mount Vernon (Skagit public fiber system) and the Seattle Internet Exchange today for about one hour - between approximately 1:45PM and 2:45PM. We presume the problems were related, but as of this time have no other information other than that they knew there were issues and got them corrected. The outage apparently impacted pretty much everything on the Skagit public fiber system and also caused some disruptions (primarily in terms of slowdowns) for some OpenAccess DSL customers. If and when we get any additional information about what happened, we will post an update here. 2010.08.23 It appears that the two issues were unrelated. A misconfiguration (human error) at the Seattle IX caused the problems there, which were entirely separate from the issues in Mount Vernon which we are unclear about the cause of, other than it was either a fiber cut or another misconfiguration.

Whats New? 2010.11.01 Digital telephone & PBX services expanded

2010.10.21 IPv6 Transition
OpenAccess will be having a mid range time line for adoption and
implementation of IPv6. As most people know who are reading this, there
is a certain 'chicken & egg' problem with IPv6 in as much for any
organization to move to IPv6 requires that other organizations have
moved to IPv6.
