cable provider down
All services stopped as of May 7, 12:00 UTC+2.

This was the first long major outage since years.

Not a good start for the Pentathlon and certainly not how it was planned.

If the current deadline proves insufficient, it will have to be extended.

Let me know if you have problems with deadlines or other things.

I hope for no more issues on provider side.

Thx for your understanding and support! 8 May 2026, 1:50:10 UTC · Comment
