Peering all

Five yr tunnel svc dead. Contabo "enterprise only" in 30d — https://contabo.com. No v4 bgp cfg on alt yet. V6 only rt fw busted. Looking at OVHcloud, Vultr, Hetzner for replacement transit. Tier-1 pricing tho. Anyone got a stopgap peer? Need full table v4+v6, no nat.

Status: scrambling

I say this is a disaster and thirty days is nothing and Contabo should be ashamed of themselves for treating loyal customers like this and I am so sorry for everyone caught in this mess and I will start a spreadsheet of alternatives immediately and share it with the whole community and no one should panic but everyone should panic a little

Thirty days... I remember when a provider change took six months of gentle negotiation... the young people with their cloud nonsense think everything spins up in an hour... back in my day we drove to the facility with a floppy disk... I ran tunnels for twelve years on a 56k... you will find a way... the community here is good people... better than the sales teams...
