I am really surprised no one saw and reported that the FiraMada web site was down yesterday. Yes, I know the site requires a tremendous amount of work! If you try accessing the website one will find you are routed to a new ISP. It is a provider in New York City(closer to home-base at 40 Wall Street). About time! The provider is spacelab.net If you try firamadainc.com you will end up the same place. Hopefully this down time will be taken advantage of and the site will be improved before it comes up. Below is some information on the ISP:Overview: Dedicated Internet Access 56 Kbps, 128 Kbps, 256 Kbps, 384 Kbps, 512 Kbps, and T1 (1.5 Mbps) Backup ISDN Daily graphs of bandwidth usage and availability 24 Hour monitoring Choosing the right partner is critical for your organization's success on the Internet. Bigger is not always better because it's not just access you need-its Internet expertise. Getting up and running on the net is not a simple do-it-yourself process. Whether you are just starting out or expanding your Internet services, you can do business faster, more efficiently, more cost effectively when you take advantage of Spacelab's powerful combination of high-quality networking solutions.What is LANconnect? LANconnect is the name of Spacelab's dedicated Internet solutions for businesses and organizations who need full-time Internet connectivity and a high level of support. Spacelab assumes that LANconnect customers are running mission critical applications.

LANconnect leased line customers can also see graphs of bandwidth utilization and availability, allowing LANconnect customers to see if either they or Spacelab are 'peaking out.' 24x7 Customer Support Spacelab network operators are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week; we monitor your service using network management software to immediately identify problems. Spacelab will contact you if your circuit is down for more than 5 minutes. If we cannot reach you, we will open a trouble ticket with your network carrier (e.g. Nynex, MFS).
