QUOTE There was a network outage from 5:30PM EST to 6:20PM EST.
We apologize for this inconvenience. The outage came completely without warning from our provider and spanned several areas, not just us.
Everything is back online and should be working as normal. Let us know if you experience any problems.
It's unknown why they did this at peak hours. I believe it was a serious emergency. Hopefully this does not happen again.
