Meanwhile, they are barking about the greatness of their new platform.

Sounds about right.
 
Plenty more downtime last night, most every DDC customer had some level of sites being down, the longest up to 30 minutes. Hopefully they are making improvements, maintenance, etc. Three 9s equals 44 minutes of downtime per month, last night coupled with the 9/14 & 9/15 outages, DDC will unfortunately be lucky to hang on to two 9s.

Nice spotting, but that's on their sorry, sad asses. Don't pass the buck, you decided to use Century Link. I call bullshit.
