service disruptions:

2025-10-13 We are aware of the network outage and are investigating the issue.
[22:07 PDT] Ryan arrived at the Fremont datacenter.
[01:31 PDT] FMT2 technician located faulty Ethernet crimp on their side...
[04:00 PDT] Customer instances should be online by 10:00 AM.
[10:22 PDT] Instances are back online. Customers will be emailed later today.

2025-09-03 Everything is back online. We appreciate your patience.
A more detailed write-up will be published in the updates section.
(2025-10-13: sorry about the delay... a more detailed write-up beyond our initial email summary is still coming.)

2025-08-31 We are still in the process of migrating cabinets to accommodate increased power consumption and network demands. Apologies for the downtime. We are working as quickly as possible to get everything back online.

Tuesday morning is a safe estimate, but ideally service will be restored sooner. For those who are curious: we will publish a post-mortem once everything is resolved. Please reach out via email if you have any questions.

speed test:

There is a systemd service hosting iperf3 for users to test the network speeds.


# Notes:
#   By default, iperf3 measures upload speed (you --> datacenter).
#   Use the -R flag to measure download speed (datacenter --> you).
#
#   Use -4 and -6 flags to force IPv4 or IPv6 respectively.
