672603 2008-05-26 03:37:00 Lol, down for everyone or just me can't even tell that it exists!

Wellington is having some major power cut issues at the moment, maybe that has something to do with it?

672605 2008-05-26 04:40:00 You'd think Ascent would a have a big grunty UPS tho??

Surely they sell the bloody things!! :D

And a diesel generator to keep said UPS going . . . . .

Always a good test for a company's BCP :o

Doesn't help if Ascent is behind UPS for their server but the network isn't . . . . I think there were issues with CityLink which is probably who Ascent is hosted though . . . There has been a few residual network problems out of the wellington power cut . . . .

For sure, but what I said for Ascent should go doubly for a company the size of Citylink.

I'm sure Citylink's owners will be asking their CTO the same questions :thumbs:

672609 2008-05-26 05:28:00 Ascent is back up now, at least for me :D jwil1 (65)
672610 2008-05-26 05:30:00 FAIL CityLink.

:ban

:p

We all know how power fluctuations can wreak havoc with network gear.

I think they've got it sorted.

672611 2008-05-26 05:35:00 OMG, I've just realised Ascent sell Norton's (did a test search to see if the site was fully running again)

Epic Fail. (www.imagef1.net.nz) The best (IMO) PC retailer sells the worst piece of software in the world.

:xmouth:

:p
