As shocked to see that I haven't been bounced off the list by now, Floodgap
and all of its hosted projects are back in full operation on a new T1 from
AT&T/DSL Extreme.
Do not ever do business with Time Warner Cable Business Class. They took six
weeks to do nothing, culminating in fairly nasty threats to their legal office
to get them to release me from the contract. AT&T took almost four weeks, but
at least they got the NIU in, and the router got activated today. Reverse DNS
is pending.
Sorry about the downtime.

That seriously blows. Glad you got everything back up.
Let me know if I can help you out with some offsite mirror action for
the next time someone screws with you.

Yes. The T1 is not cheap, but I have to say, I love the latency, the uplink
and the fact that the cable runs are all mine (I wired the whole 60' from
the new house's server room up to the demarc and it's reassuring to know it's
done right and I control it).
But it's nice having a proper server room (I got out the hole saw and ran
ducts for the spot cooler, then some conduits for Ethernet and the two T1
pair runs) instead of camping the equipment out in the apartment dining room.

I may take you up on that. However, DSL Extreme has been really great (they
certainly had better be for the money). AT&T, being the ILEC, dragged their
feet on the NIU install but they did finally get it in.

Excellent! My current production network is sitting in the corner of
a 4600 square foot room, but I'm hoping to have a room built around that
stuff before too long. I hate "temporary setups" because they have a
way of becoming...permanent. :-(
