Hi
All,
As most of you are
aware, the server's DSL connection has been experiencing severe issues for over
two months. My ISP has stated that they simply can't get the problem
escalated with Verizon (in whose equipment the fault lies), and that basically
Verizon is simply not interested in fixing our problem.
Therefore, the
server is going to have to be moved (physically, to a new location) as there is
no other DSL provider in that area. We are just going to have to put
up with the 'up and down' nature of this shoddy DSL connection until the move
occurs.
This will take some
time, and is 6th in line of my priorities right now (the Forward Look calendar
is number two, by the way, right behind a technical test I have to take tomorrow
for a potential job). The rest of my priorities involve simply trying to
get enough money to pay my rent this month, as I have been unemployed for about
18 months.
I am investigating
options for colocation ($200+ per month), an SDSL line at Juley's parents' house
($250+ per month, plus $550 in setup fees) and lastly a T1 line here at my
house ($400+ per month, plus around $700 setup fees). These are all out of
reach for me personally right now, but when I determine the best course of
action I will begin begging for donations.
Again, I apologize
for any inconvenience this is causing, but believe me I am doing everything I
can to get this resolved.
-Dave
PS - I thank all of
you who have offered suggestions on hosting services, but due to the nature of
the background processes that run on our servers (yes, there are two), we simply
have to run them on our own machines. I can't run them here, as we are too far
from the CO to get a decent u/l speed w/DSL (we need min. 768/768k), and cable
does not offer a high enough u/l speed, period. I also unfortunately
cannot locate them far away -- they need to be near enough to get to in a
reasonable amount of time should any problems
occur.
