A scheduled maintenance upgrade went bad?
excerpts from http://consumer.bellsouth.net/system/
'Subject: All Cities, Email Scheduled Maintenance.
The maintenance will take place Monday, December 3, 2001, from 12:00 a.m.
to 6:00 a.m. EST. WHERE? This maintenance will impact the nine southern
states serviced by BellSouth Internet Services; Florida, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, S. Carolina, N. Carolina, Tennessee, and
Kentucky.'
Then
'Subject: ALL CITIES - E-mail Issue
The outage began at 4:13 p.m. EST on Tuesday, December 04, 2001. WHERE?
This issue is impacting the nine-state Bellsouth region that BellSouth
Internet Services serves. WHY? The equipment problem that is causing the
difficulties is unknown at this time.'
According to their current status, problems are resolved:
'Resolution: We have successfully restored service in your area. All Dial
and FastAccess customers in the nine-state region that BellSouth serves
will no longer experience any problems sending or receiving their e-mail.
All issues concerning any latency or disconnections have been resolved. All
customers will be able to access the system normally.'
