Inaccessible Stardock Sites

Inaccessible Stardock Sites

In regards the connectivity issues with Stardock Central, Stardock.Com, Wincustomize.Com and other sites which Stardock hosts/owns.

At this time, Level 3 Communications and Cogent Communications are at odds. As a result, any net traffic exclusively through Level 3 connections to the Cogent network is not making it to its destination.

We'll see over the coming little bit whether they come to an agreement or other peering relationships are established to bypass to blockage.

The problem is neither on your end or our end. We are unfortunately stuck in the middle.

In a news release today, Level3 and Cogent announced that they have negotiated a new peering arrangement.

http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/10-28-2005/0004199017&EDATE=

The temporary arrangement in place now was set to end on Nov. 9th.

So all of us who connect by a Level3 ISP will not have to worry about our connection to Wincustomize and other sites whose ISP is Cogent.

....and this thread should finally be able to fade into obscurity.
