Looks like Packet8 has scheduled maintenance which may cause intermittent outages this Sunday. Funny how the regular phone company doesn't tell you they might be offline for a few hours. Probably because regular phone companies rarely are offline. They invented that whole 5 9's (99.999%) of reliability thing. VoIP service providers got the cheap calling down pat, but their still working on 4 9's of reliability. Ummm, make that 3 9's of reliability. Do I hear 2? 
Well, at least Packet8 is warning its customers, unlike Sunrocket customers which had no warning. of their impending doom and no phone service.
Here's the email Packet8 is sending to customers.
