I think a lot of people are overlooking 1 fact: RCN is still working their asses off to fix this problem despite initially facing some pretty grim circumstances. I checked in at 7am (it happened at 6:08am for the most part) and they already had the senior techs on it. How fucked would you be if your server went down AND your personal computer AND your work computer.
Honestly, I think this is the first time in several years that I've seen downtime with an RCN server. You can bet your ass that what doesn't break you will make you stronger... I still have a lot of faith in RCN despite the recent events. ISPRIME are really a pain to deal with already, "send an email here, contact so and so, contact us back after, no eta", typical left hand not talking to the right hand. RCN you hop on icq, ask them to set up lighttpd and a new domain on a new ip and you get a message back 5 minutes later when it's done.
