Verio Hosted Sites Suffer Mysterious Outage

Tony Dennis writes in The Inquirer:

According to to reports reaching the INQ, Brits trying to reach web sites hosted by Verio – owned by Japan's NTT, were accidentally cut off last Friday.

After approximately sixteen hours of downtime, the issue was resolved. The problem was experienced by surfers who were connected to the Net via BT's service, along with some people who connected via Deutsche Telecom's networks.

According to Verio's VP of Operations, Craig Pennington, since the sites involved were still accessible to surfers outside the UK or with different suppliers, Verio classifies this as a service degradation not a complete outage.
