Is Joyent down?

Is Joyent down? I can't reach http://joyent.com, http://support.joyent.com, or their emergency phone number, 415-289-0806. Maybe it's just me? I first noticed when our website went down, and it could also affect some of our clients!

It is weird. People in Canada and Silicon Valley could reach our site, http://eastagile.com, hosted on Joyent. But we could not reach any of their infrastructure from Vietnam. Then a friend pointed out that a large number of fiber lines were recently cut in Silicon Valley by vandals, and that traffic was being rerouted in the meantime. It might be that the routes from Vietnam were affected by this.

Hi Lawrence, we were not affected by the fiber lines in Silicon Valley. Those were Verizon-leased lines from AT

OK, sorry Vox seems to have cut that off at an ampersand ... let me replace it.

"Hi Lawrence, we were not affected by the fiber lines in Silicon Valley. Those were Verizon-leased lines from ATandT. joyent.com is actually on the east coast and while support is west coast, it is north of those fiber issues, higher up in the network and not even on the same providers. So basically, we haven't been down at all and I don't have any explanation for what you're experiencing other then a local issue."

Thanks for looking into this so quickly. I was relieved that the problem was just limited to Vietnam.
