Sorry about the downtime, another modem died =(

Unfortunately the ISP won't let us have our own modems, so we're stuck with the fluffty ones they have; the last time this happened was about a month after EE started if any of you recall that heh... not very long in terms of hardware lifetime.

Anyway, we're at a different location temporarily, which may not be *quite* as fast, but should be comparable; so please bear with us as we exist here temporarily!

Finally did the signature thing.

Please let your ISP know that the issue cost one of your "customers" about $500 million ;)

Well he's on a residential account, which probably prohibits any kind of a 'business' type sites from being run in the first place.. So even if your claim was valid (loss of money, etc), the ISP is just going to tell qz to go F himself, and probably force an upgrade to a business account.

The crazy thing is how business account tiers cost more, and don't go up to the same level as residential accounts -- you simply can't get fast business accounts with them heh.

can you request them provide you with a spare modem since this has happened twice in a fairly short span?

Holy cow, this whole site runs this well for like 1000 users off a residential connection? When the game gets laggy does it mean qzjul is downloading porn?

As I understand it, it's coded in such a way that the bandwidth requirements are relatively minimal. Also the residential connection that qz has is amongst the best available in Canada.
