Hello Dear clients and readers,

We just thought of publishing this news as it has been affecting internet connection supplying several datacenters throughout U.S.A.

Apparently, on 2/11 New York time, a radio shack on 6th avenue exploded and after investigating the incident, it was found out that the cause of the explosion was a “manhole explosion” that “sparked a transformer fire”. The explosion or fire cut several fiber optics connection from different bandwidth providers. So until everything has been restored by the internet / bandwidth backbone providers, you might experience some slack in accessing several servers throughout the world connecting through New York fiber optics.
