Update on Ecatel

Ecatel has responded:

Dear customer,

Two of our main transit lines were cut off without any warning because of many
copyright infringements and spamming from our network.

We proved over and over again that there was no spamming out of our network, they
just laughed at us.
Normally it would take more than 5 working days to find alternative connections,
however after having put in more than 24 hours of solid trying, we've managed to get
back on line again via other operators.

Ecatel did EVERYTHING to get this issue solved at soon as possible.

We sincerely apologize to all our faithful customers for all inconvenience caused.


Best regards,
Network Operations
ECATEL (NETHERLANDS) LIMITED.
