issue with register.com, Packet8 servers and services became unreachable for
customers using certain ISPs including AT&T, Cox, and Verizon while
customers on other ISPs such as Comcast and Level3 were impacted very briefly
due to quick DNS update recovery. As of 1:30am PST our tests show that all DNS
servers of the known impacted ISPs have been updated correctly, and Packet8
customers on these networks should be able to reach our services. If you
experience any issue using your Packet8 service or reaching the Packet8
website, please reboot your network (by rebooting the DSL/Cable modem, router,
Packet8 phones and computers) to clear any cache information.<o:p></o:p></span></font></i></p>
