A message from our CEO regarding recent network-impacting issues (Friday, January 27, 2012)

To our customers:

In light of the frequency of network impacting issues in the last 6 months I have called an emergency meeting with our company owner as well as the CTO. The purpose of these meetings is to determine the specific actions, both immediate and ongoing, necessary to permanently resolve the issues with network stability and customer communications.

We have identified a number of items that we are currently in the process of changing or fixing; other items have already been fully addressed. We understand that your confidence can only be restored by our delivering consistent and uninterrupted service going forward and hope that you will give us the opportunity to deliver.

A detailed report is being prepared that will outline the steps that we’re taking and the dates targeted for completion of those steps. This report will be completed on February 3rd. Following the report’s release at 10 a.m. MT, I will be hosting a live conference call at 1 p.m. MT to address any additional questions and concerns. After February 3rd, weekly updates on the completion of the steps we’re taking will also be posted to ensure we’re staying on track and being held accountable. Between now and then, our entire team is available to address any immediate questions or concerns.

My apologies to any of our affected customers, resolving this situation is our highest priority.

Sincere regards,

 
Dave Damer

Service Advisory (Wednesday, January 25, 2012)

We are currently experiencing severe packet loss with one of our IP transit providers. This is adversely affecting audio quality and call completion. Our engineering and NOC departments are investigating this issue and we will provide periodic updates. At this time there is no estimated time to resolution.
