I'm getting farmed off by a support desk for some connection issues into the Orcon datacentre. They claim there's a telecom exchange underwater up that way and that's why they are having issues. Sounds very fishy as I'm not aware of any other issues. They can't provide details. Sent from my iPhone
It wouldn't be a Telecom Exchange as they are all (well the vast majority are) owned by Chorus now. I haven't seen any reports of Chorus Exchanges underwater after the recent rain, and I get all the Telecom and Chorus network event notifications. -----Original Message----- From: nznog-bounces(a)list.waikato.ac.nz [mailto:nznog-bounces(a)list.waikato.ac.nz] On Behalf Of Kyle Carter Sent: Wednesday, 8 May 2013 9:14 a.m. To: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Subject: [nznog] Underwater exchange I'm getting farmed off by a support desk for some connection issues into the Orcon datacentre.

Makes sense - Chorus exchanges are often below ground and made to handle being fully flooded - if there's been a lot of rain recently it could still be draining out? Sent from my iPhone On 8/05/2013, at 9:14 AM, Kyle Carter <kyle(a)feet.net.nz> wrote:
