Yesterday was the first big glitch in MyRepublic's uptime for us. We joined 2 months ago.
So, the internet connection died at 9:25am, and didn't get fixed until 5:13pm. Nearly 8 HOURS!
That is the longest outage I have experienced in 20.5 years of using the internet.
Crossing fingers that I can make it through the next 22 months of my contract.
The problem affected users from Nelson to Wanganui. They say it was a problem with their Cisco ASR-9000(s).
Just guessing here, that it might have taken a LONG time to find an available technician to investigate the problem, and who knows how much travel could have been required to get on-site.
