Network just came back a second ago, and promptly disappeared again.

It's coming up slowly, piece by piece. I'm still waiting on access to my machines.

It was out for about 30 minutes or so.

The IRC channel is a useful place to be when this sort of thing happens - not that I recall something this bad happening since I've been using Digital Ocean.

I didn't realize that they had one. I would've looked there but I'm actually on vacation, so I'm not really wanting to `dive in` at the moment.

I used to have a linode VPS in their fremont datacenter, there was a period where they had downtime almost every other month. Shit happens.

Since it's been 2+ hours now, I'll just say that an hour ago half my machines came up but the other half remains offline. I don't think they're still coming back up. Waiting patiently… by grousing on Hacker News.

I'm not sure.. that wasn't even there when I looked. We had an alarm go off for our sites that are hosted there.

Down since 8:48PM EST. Unacceptable in my book.

This sucks, so many sites down right now :( Hope they get this fixed ASAP.

Hmm not sure if it's related but I can't get on stackoverflow either at the moment. It might be a NYC networking issue? Aren't they located there?

From inside the console: NYC1 scheduling delay. Mon Nov 25 02:05:00 2013

We are experiencing a power outage at NYC1 and have engaged Equinix to investigate. Mon Nov 25 02:27:11 2013

We have engaged our engineering teams to investigate temporarily scheduling delays. Mon Nov 25 02:07:32 2013

Well, most of my servers have been down for 90 minutes at this point. Not happy, but I guess you get what you pay for.

My thoughts, exactly.

I'd spread them out, over a few locations but one is a personal and the other is small one for a couple sites that we host.

While I came in here to defend Digital Ocean, I will say that I pay several tons for Digital Ocean and I'm having the same downtime. It's a power outage and UPS also failed. But I don't think the cost has anything to do with it. They're pretty well funded and have big goals.

hmm.. I am with Digital Ocean. Does anyone know where (physical address) exactly their NYC1 Equinix datacenter is?

I believe they're in Equinix NY1 in Newark (165 Halsey St, Newark, NJ).
