PSA to anyone calling Reti... by ShadowSystems2014-02-06 10:46:02
  I know what happened on the phone the other day. by ripley8 2014-02-06 14:43:23
I was having a phone call with a guy in HQ office when suddenly
he goes silent. I write him on XMPP about that and try to ring
him back, to no avail.

A moment later someone from the adjacen office comes in and asks
me whether my internet connection is down as well. I try to ping
an external machine and yes, connection's down.

Hooray for VoIP phone systems. The outage lasted somewhere between
20-30 minutes. We finished out conversation by mobile phone, then
I rung up the infrastructure guy to tell him about the outage.
He pointed me to the paper with contacts for the company that
services the cabling and I called to get them to fix it. Which
took about 15 minutes until it worked again.

Which reminds me, I wanted to ask if he got any feedback as to
what caused the outage...
