We too had probs. I saw only two outages, one around 8PM PDT and one
around 9:45PM PDT. I called during the first one, and the people I talked
to were obviously in a state, and I had trouble hearing anyone, as they
were in an extremely loud part of the data center or something. From what
I could understand through the noise of some really loud fans or a
generator, there was a power test of some kind, and a generator flaked or
something. I've requested more detailed info, but have yet to receive it.
From what I understand, it affected more than just one provider.
