    Esat.net's fibre optic network fell on it's **** yesterday afternoon, causing me some minor headaches (I'm currently in charge of support in the company, meaning, among other things, that I get do wear a fireman's helmet... don't ask...!). Thing is, I now have to explain this to our clients - can anyone tell me just how long it was down for so I can tell them just how long their web sites were knocked off the Internet for?

    Cheers.

    Knocked out at about 5'o'clock yesterday.
    Back this morning. That's all I can tell you.

    From checking it out, it seemed to go belly up at about 4.45pm yesterday evening and started returning to normal around 5 or 6am this morning. Our customers are happy enough that it wasn't our fault anyway.

    It wasn't, by the way. wink.gif
