ET Brought Down by Garbage Truck

Quote from nitro:

Baron,

Are you running ET out of your house, or at a colocated datacenter?

nitro


A datacenter. In fact, they have some equipment in there owned by fox news, MTV, and quite a few other big companies. No telling how those other business were affected.
 
Quote from aphexcoil:


Apparently a digging company severed a huge colossal assortment of OC-792 lines or whatever the largest was at the time.

In fact, it's standard procedure when someone orders redundant phone or data lines to their building that the company laying the lines takes care to separate them by at least the width of one backhoe.
 
I thought it was nitro hacking into ET's member database to get rid of multiple accounts...

But honestly I never knew Garbage trucks ran around 1am these days...

True Story:

A while back there was a huge outage on the internet and traffic between the west coast to specific points on the east coast had to be routed around the globe through Asia.

Apparently a digging company severed a huge colossal assortment of OC-792 lines or whatever the largest was at the time.

The bill must have been astronomical.

You mean OC-192?

Quote from QdzResurrection:

My cousin was driving that truck.
 
And harrytrader would digress into the socioeconometric model that caused the garbage truck driver to be in that spot at that time.
