April 2008

• April 29, 2008 Noon. A problem was quickly discovered which affected customers speed on parts of Islesboro. This problem has been corrected.
• April 29, 2008 5:40am. Power has been out for quite a while at our Nobleboro location and the battery backup has run out of juice. Someone has been dispatched to start the generator.
• April 23, 2008 North Haven and some of Islesboro will be out of service for a few minutes at about 11:30am for an upgrade. This upgrade was successful and improved the performance to those affected.
• April 16, 2008 DSL customers in the Dama/Newcastle are experienced a brief outage today. A reboot of some equipment in Waldoboro fixed it. Outage time? Maybe 10 minutes.
  
• April 7, 2008 A change has been made to how kona.midcoast.com/free.midcoast.com email addresses receive spam. Previously, we identified spam with a PJM in the subject so users could sort or filter by subject and delete it, and users had the option of having us delete PJM messages before they hit the Inbox.
  The new method is as follows: If you have the optional filter setup on our server to delete them before they hit the Inbox, that will happen as usual. For everyone else, mail identified as spam will go into a separate mailbox for spam. This mailbox is accessible via Squirrelmail webmail from our website. Spam more than 30 days old will be purged from this spam folder automatically.
  This change will result in less spam getting into people's Inboxes. If the change is received well, it will be implemented on the other midcoast.com servers.
• April 4, 2008 Our Jackson Hill repeater was out of service for about 20 minutes while a piece of equipment had and problem. This was quickly corrected and all is well.
