Works from here. Try rebooting your cable modem.

I can confirm your report. Our equipment at Calpop went down on Thursday the 10th at 4:01PM PST. We sent a tech of ours as we could not reach Calpop support (their phones were down).

Calpop confirmed that the building lost power. A fuse in the main electrical system blew and the generators failed to kick in. They assured us that this is a rare event. Normally when the fuses blow the generators kick in soon enough to take over for UPS.

That's little consolation given this happened two days in a row in early Q4-2010.

We recorded 56 minutes of downtime before network connectivity was restored. All of our equipment was confirmed to have lost power.
