• 02/04/2009 03:24pm - ISP still attempting to successfully splice Dovetail's fiber optic cable. In an attempt to help stabalize web hosting service and provide more pertinant information, Dovetail has forced A.V.O.I.D. to display the maintenance page for all subscribers.
• 02/04/2009 11:45am - ISP attempting to migrate us to a spare pair of fiber optic cables. ISP discovered a break in their fiber splice. If the migration to the spare pair does not work, it should only be a few hours to resplice the broken fiber cable.

• 02/04/2009 9:00am - Technician determined issue is not ISP equipment in our hosting facility.
• 02/04/2009 8:00am - Spoke with upstream ISP. Technician has been dispatched.
• 02/04/2009 6:00am - Discovered that primary Internet line is down. Logged call with ISP. Discovered that Dovetail VoIP telephone service also affected

Dovetail's hosting services were seemlessly shifted to use our other Internet lines when the issue was detected.  As such, websites may appear to load slower due to increased traffic.

This outage is also impacting Dovetail's Voice over IP (VoIP) office telephones as well.  Though voice mail is still being delivered and responded to via email.

Our engineers are working feverishly to help resolve the issue, for which information will be posted on the network status page at http://www.dovetailinternet.com/default.asp?LINKNAME=NETWORK_STATUS as it is made available.

Thanks for your patience, and we do apologize for this and any inconvenience you or your users may encounter.
