[M5Hosting] Re: Maintenance on Aug 3rd - Adding Network Capacity

[Michael J McCafferty]

Dear Happy M5Hosting Customer,

	This maintenance was completed successfully. It did take a few minutes
longer than expected as a result of a configuration error made by the
upstream provider which was being upgraded. However, the added capacity
and the fault-tolerance of the connections have been tested.

Thank you !
Mike
