Starting Friday morning, January 23, I’m having Google fiber installed. It’s 3GB symmetric, which is 3x my ATT fiber, costs less, and gives me more control.
I’ll be upgrading the firewall and Both.org server with new NICs and replacing the slower Gb switch as part of this upgrade.
So the web site will be down at various times Friday and through the weekend as I upgrade my network to take advantage of that speed.
I’ll try to choose low traffic times for upgrades, but they’ll probably require an hour or more of downtime. You may experience one of those outages. Please try again later if you do.
Your patience is appreciated.
