Dagupan.com Migration 80% Completed

(Nov 4, 2001) Dagupan.com subscribers are now assigned with APNIC ip addresses. These are special IP addresses that have transit privileges over our 3 gateways.

This means continued surfing even in the event that 2 of our 3 links are incapacitated. Unlike in the old system where dagupan.com users were assigned the Mozcom IP block, whenever the link to mozcom goes down, internet access is greatly affected as mozcom ips are not allowed transit thru our other gateways and vice versa.

The switchover is only 80% completed. We expect full operational status by the end of the week. Please call our office for further details.
