It is up and running, but extremely slow. But since I don't run windows and
Fido designs its site for windows users only, I rarely use their site.

i've never been to the fido.ca site on a windoze machine and it's
always worked fine here.

And... it's down again now. This happens A LOT. They've also have real
problems with the online billing section for months now. Amateurs....

Maybe they forgot to renew? There's no nameserver records in the .ca
roots, and:

$ whois fido.ca
[...]
Renewal-Date:   2005/08/09                                        
Date-Modified:  2004/08/09                                        

they *did* renew sometime today, which makes me think they forgot and
only noticed when things stopped working. There's always a short
delay between renewing after expiry and getting your nameserver
records back in.

Actually, Fido didn't screw up. They did renew in time. It's the
registrar  that didn't do their job properly.

When you run a serious shop, you don't take chances like this. if CIRA takes
time to renew, then you put in the renewall paperwork ahead of time. Sorry, no
excuse there.
