This morning from 530AM to 6AM we conducted an unscheduled maintenance to alleviate some periodic network congestion.  This maintenance was to upgrade core network (the central equipment) switching and routing to cause smoother traffic flow at peak times.

Normally we would conduct this type of maintenance between midnight and 6AM on a Wednesday (which is our regularly scheduled maintenance window).  However, we felt this upgrade was critical enough that we should proceed with this upgrade as soon as possible. 

This change will result in better performance when accessing the Internet.  Videos should load faster, iTunes store should work faster and your all around Internet experience should be improved.

More improvements and upgrades are planned as EONI prepares for another record year of growth!

Thanks for your patience.
