Redundant GigaMAN

As you may be aware, we've had a few Internet outages these past few months due to cut fiber. Please be aware that we are working on implementing a redundant GigaMAN which facilitates our connectivity to the Internet. Our initial changeover date was set for October 2009. Since then, we have moved up the date to August 25th! Please note that we may experience slight outages during the changeover.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the helpdesk at 936-294-1950.
