Breaking News - Yet another DSL provider bites the dust.

March 22, 2001

This evening I was informed that Northpoint Communications was ceasing operations effective immediately. Northpoint will be winding down network operations in the next 10 - 30 days (or less). The company is trying to secure bridge funding to allow customers to migrate to alternate business carriers.

So, why do I mention this? Well, this is important as Northpoint is one of the primary providers of my internet backbone and by extension a significant chunk of the siteSatellite network. Therefore I am in the midst of securing additional backbone connection providers as quickly as possible to minimize service interuptions.

Clients with server accounts will be contacted in the next 24hrs to make alternate arrangements and financial considerations in the event of service interuptions. We are doing everything possible to avoid service interuptions, but are being proactive in planning for the worst.

Are you a concerned siteSatellite customer? Get in touch.
