Source Cnet news Quote:
Lycos was knocked offline Tuesday and the search engine is blaming the company's Internet service provider for the outage.
Lycos' customers were without access to e-mail and other services after construction workers accidentally damaged the systems of Savvis, a publicly traded ISP, on Monday night, according to Kathy O'Reilly, a spokeswoman for Lycos. The Web portal was back online early Tuesday afternoon.
A Savvis representative confirmed that the company had suffered an outage, but declined to give specifics as to the cause or how many other companies were affected.
This was a 100 percent connectivity problem with Savvis," O'Reilly said. "We contracted with them for 99 percent of our hosting and network services, and they guaranteed their service. This was a major failure on their part."
