Is that fact or fiction ?,or is it perhaps just the server has gone down.

Pure fiction, starting a rumor is fun :D
I noticed I am unable to log on to QSONET. I am guessing it is either a magnetic storm from sunspots or I have a bad antenna connection....73, Les,

Hi Dave,
There was an explosion and fire at my ISP - The Planet in Houston Texas.
They hope to have 9,000 servers back on line by Sunday afternnon.
Here is the letter I received from The Planet.
Sorry about this.
73, Doug
Dear Valued Customers:
Saturday evening at 1755 EDT in our H1 data center, electrical gear shorted, creating an explosion and fire that knocked down three walls surrounding our electrical equipment room Thankfully, no one was injured. In addition, no customer servers were damaged or lost.
We have just been allowed into the building to physically inspect the damage. Early indications are that the short was in a high-volume wire conduit. We were not allowed to activate our backup generator plan based on instructions from the fire department.
This is a significant outage, impacting approximately 9,000 servers and 7,500 customers. All members of our support team are in, and all vendors who supply us with data center equipment are on site. Our initial assessment, although early, points to being able to have some service restored by mid-afternoon on Sunday. Rest assured we are working around the clock.
We are in the process of communicating with all affected customers. we are planning to post updates every hour via our forum and in our customer portal. Our interactive voice response system is updating customers as well.
There is no impact in any of our other five data centers.
I am sorry that this accident has occurred and apologize for the impact.
Sincerely,
Douglas J. Erwin
Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
ThePlanet.
I expect you will all receive money or time back in loe for the time with out.
He would be insured so it will not cost him.:)

That's impossible.
QSONet is not real radio! :p

So no DR site?
What kind of business runs without a disaster recovery plan?

Me, I'd bet the inspector won't come out to pass on repairs until at least Monday...
No skin off his nose if 9000 servers stay offline another day.
