Telia kicks out Path due to a mountain of unpaid bills.
Birds tell, that it's down to just GTT and PCCW now.
Apparently they left insane sum of money unpaid and Telia is now looking at legal actions.
Unconfirmed for now, but a strong rumor everywhere.

Love the prices though. xD
@LeifurGunnarsson works with tempest, IIRC
Leifur the DDoS man
I wonder what happened to his iceland host.
Official response:
It was false rumor everyone, the show is over. nothing to see here.

Confirmed. GTT single-homed @ EU, PCCW single-homed @ APAC.
I thought DDOS providers should own ample of bandwidth?
Also heard that AMS-IX port is down too
This has to be a typo. This is not possible. They added a 0 at the end by accident.
Nah, they've sold under 100 USD blade servers for ages now with 10Gbps dedicated port.
Fact: not a typo and indeed real.
They do indeed deliver those servers, but bad things are happening network-side
How will this affect everyone that uses Path?
Indeed looks like it, is the Path downfall finally happening.
I've said before that it's quite obvious that they have no idea how to run a business. They might do well with the technical side, that I have no idea about, but the management aspect.. they seem completely clueless.
BuyVM lux is basically fucked right now. Ports going up and down.
Few other providers also seem to have issues with networking.
I can't connect some servers which I host on interserver because I have Telia as my ISP, or if it connects, the packet loss is insane.
time to sell those cars?
Their routing can be super shit in some locations since they want to take over the world without having good presence in some/most locations.
Also unpaid apparently.
Time for BuyVM to migrate to someone else. Would hurt Path even more so is it a spiral to death?
Ouch. I thought an IX should be cheaper than transit?
I love Fran but the issues with Path in Lux has got me looking to move my stuff elsewhere. These aren't his issues since all of the non-filtered stuff is GREAT, but I'm tired of being woken up once a month or so because everything I deem critical is unreachable and all my monitoring alarms go off.
Sure, but their protection is appreciated by many low-end providers. There was certainly a market that they managed to tap into.
When it comes to all the rumours etc, I can only draw the conclusion that they're not serious people, it seems to me that what they lack in experience they make up for in toxic behaviour which isn't an ideal way to run a company long-term.
Case-in-point: I'm not sure if the screenshot from @stefeman is edited or not, but the fact that I'm not even sure, says it all. Major issues and meme emojis
If it was Arelion, I'd KNOW it was fake
to be honest it is not that crazy
they are DDOS provider who buy BW in bulk
and in DDOS cases the bulk of BW is on incoming side of their network
the upload side of their network they only use it for clean traffic which is maybe 1 to 100 compared to incoming
this gives them unique situation where they have a lot of bw with a lot of upload(going outside of their network) capacity that is not used
and in servers usually most of the bw is out of your network (servers serve content so most of the cases the content is uploaded once and served many times)
So they are simply using this excessive resource that should be paid for by DDOS protection clients by creating new product on top of it for crazy cheap price
So mostly having cheap servers with 10gbps unlimited is not the cause of their issue here
Yeah, their protection aint bad but its definitly low end provider type of not bad.
This affect your site acceess? Incognet seems down.
Heard that Asian providers are with them bc of crazy prices in the region. Sad to see if Path (the service) goes down.
Yup, the IP was announced via Path but it seems it died.
https://bgp.tools/prefix/198.251.84.0/24
Yeah.
I used to automatically do failover to a "We'll BRB" page on a different provider's network and every-time this happens I say, "Ah shit, I need to get the failover server back up" and then I don't. It's moved higher up on the to-do list, though, haha.
The /24 youre under seems to be announced again via Path. Different upstreams than I can remember though.
