Looks interesting - I'll give it a try I'm using Hyperspin at the moment, but the minimum recheck is hourly, so you don't know if your site is down for a minute or an hour

ya i had a hour one i just did not wont a pay i use Ovh's if its just server this is just what i use for offsite.

in-case ovh does something silly like block there routers ip's

We use PRTG for network monitoring (http://www.paessler.com/prtg)

I didn't notice anything, although our network monitoring is in OVH! although some remote services that were monitored did go down, so that would explain it.

I also saw several servers briefly lose their connectivity.

Blacklisting is where the IP addresses are block to prevent abuse etc. Bit of a **** up if they did that to their entire network!

I too witness this, and what exactly does "OVH blacklisted their own backbone" mean?

[Tz-OVH]

Couldn't connect to any of my servers, our site/forums were down...multiple users reported issues.

[Myatu]

Have a look at http://status.ovh.co.uk/. No network outages were reported for my sites today.

[Jackster]

All I heard is that OVH blacklisted their own backbone...

I don't know if anyone else was affected, but it seems like there was a massive network failure this afternoon - all my servers [4] lost connectivity with the UK, and ovhuk/com/fr were all down for a while..
