Any news? It seems it has been a while since an update on the Twitter feed. Is Rogers saying anything?

Everything from C@C that I have is working. VPS is up and the management panel is back up now too.

Nothing here in Texas. Looks like the routes to here are still down. We saw that a lot with Verizon that they would lose Texas but not New York to Toronto all the time.

Sites are still not accessible from Florida.

nothing here.

Nor here, here is our local TraceRoute from Houston.

Still up from Florida? The last hop in my last traceroute has since disappeared. No update on Twitter for three hours.

Wonder if they went home for the night? Guess there's not much they can do about it.

True, sounds like they are helpless and held hostage by Rogers at the moment. Although, it would be wise to keep Twitter up to date and not go stale for over 30 minutes just as good practice. Even if it is "Rogers sucks and won't tell us anything more", at least we know that they are there poking them.

First off, get off that double NAT box.
Second, it appears to be a larger issue. Sounds like there is some peer issues between some of the backbones and Cogent.

As a matter of course, I do have pipes from TimeWarner Cable and AT&T, seeing both hops going bad.
This is what happens when you get cheap bandwidth. This is also why I asked about it a week ago. If you are peered with Cogent, you have to have another pipe in, be it Level3 or InterNAP.

Did anyone else notice this guy on twitter running a hosting biz off of C@C? https://twitter.com/tensioncore/with_replies seems like a bad move.

Using CloudatCost isn't the issue. Any provider can go down and lose a datacenter. Even Rackspace and Amazon have had that happen. To be an enterprise class hoster you need redundancy. Using C@C for one leg of your redundancy is perfectly fine. But they need someone else, like Rackspace, AWS, Azure, Digital Ocean or whatever for the other leg. They are basically running on a single box, no backup and just "hoping" that nothing goes wrong. They didn't bother to implement failover, HA or any DR strategy, it would appear. That's the actual problem.
The difference is that larger providers like Amazon offer lots of disconnected datacenters and can provide full redundancy from a single company. But if you choose not to have that redundancy there, you'd be in exactly the same boat - and many people have been.
This is purely a bad host sticking their heads in the sand and just hoping that nothing goes wrong rather than designing and implementing a reliable solution.

Here is the traceroute FROM Toronto from a system sitting right on a shared Rogers / Bell Canada backbone....

Hey Everybody!
Late night update for you all. It's almost 9pm and we are all scrambling to make sure everything gets resolved ASAP.Rogers is telling us that we should be up and running by midnight EST tonight.
As you can all understand, this was a pretty heavy hit for us today and any time something like this happens, its always unfortunate. No company is too big or too small to avoid these failures, and seeing Rogers experience massive network issues is a prime example of that.
For me personally, this could not have come at a worse time. I really enjoy interacting with each and every one of you, reading your posts about cloudatcost, seeing comments about how you are planning on using your servers, then all of a sudden... BOOM!
Regardless, I am still here to answer any questions you may have and I will make sure that once the dust has settled on this, we do something awesome for ML users.
Comparing Cloudatcost to many of the names you knew before you heard of us, we are small... but we are determined, and we WILL learn from this, and we WILL find a way to make it so that next time this happens, we are able to get everybody back up sooner and quicker than today.
