Details of Maintenance:
Maintenance will be performed on some of our core hardware on Thursday, July 21st, requiring a restart of this hardware. This will impact traffic passing through several providers on the Gold network, causing traffic to reroute through other upstream connections.

Some disruption may be experienced during this maintenance as rerouting takes effect.
