September 1997 - September 2005. My "Bedroom ISP". At one point there were 15 machines buzzing away in my small Wandsworth apartment.
Add the rack of servers in various data centres; starting in Maidstone 1998 with a single machine, then racks at Host Europe Park Royal & finally Pipex Docklands.
End of an era when Micronicos was sold to Andrew Lugg & renamed 1stDNS. We moved on - some faster than others! Times they do go on changing.
Screen-grabs of mrtg & rrdtool machine stats micronicos server performance/usage 2003-2005. wish I'd saved more of these, trouble is when you're being spammed or ddos'd - you don't have the time or inclination to 'photograph' - usually the phone is ringing off the hook with annoyed customers - fix it!
