	<description>Due to the exhaustion of IPv4 space, we are now forced to limit customers to a maximum of 10ips per service going forward. If you already have received more then the 10 IPs, you do not need to return any IPs, however if you are ordering a new service with us, please note you will be limited to 10 free IPs maximum. As well as any older servers will not be allowed any more free additional ips. Additional ips are still available, please contact sales for pricing.&amp;nbsp;We will be rolling out mass IPv6 ipblocks to all services in all locations shortly as well.</description>

	<description>Due to a fire in a Commonwealth Edison vault several weeks ago (http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-cbot-fire_webjan25,0,2323842.story) Commonwealth Edison has inspected all transformers in the building. After completing the inspection several transformers will need repairs.  Unfortunately FDC will be affected and will experience approximately 3 to 5 hours of down time to repair a high voltage elbow on the transformer that supplies power to our facility. Work is scheduled this Saturday February 9th starting around 8:00 am CST.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. While we are disappointed in having this downtime it is understandable to fix the problem now to avoid the possibility of a larger problem in the future</description>

	<description>The replacement router blade was received this morning. Our network engineer has installed it but it failed to work properly. We attempted to troubleshoot the issue with Cisco but at the end we were told we have to get a new blade. We are requesting new blade from our vendor which is expected to be received on Tuesday. We expect to install the new router blade on Tuesday 3/20/07 during the off peak hours. The exact time will be posted in this thread on Tuesday. </description>
