# Boston Verizon Measurement Agents Retired

This morning, after months of increasing performance issues, and connectivity issues, I have retired the Boston Verizon measurement location. This location hosted 2 measurement agents.

The machines, hosted in my basement, are connected using Verizon FiOS, which has become increasingly flaky over the last couple of months. As well, the machines are 7 year old Pentium IIs, and require a substantial amount of spoon-feeding that I don't have time for at the moment.

I have re-enabled the Technorati #1 Agent to fill the gap, but this leaves only 4 measurement locations running. I again [put out my plea](http://crazycanuck.org/2007/03/27/grabperf-agent-need-more-locations/) for more volunteers to host GrabPERF measurement locations. I have had one volunteer [contact me](http://grabperf.org/homepage.php?page=contact) about this (thanks [Henrik](http://netvouz.com/)!), and this location should be up in about 3 weeks.

If you have a spare linux box and a static IP, have I got a project for you!

**PS:** The contact page is fixed. It was set to auto-refresh and overwrite your e-mails. Ooooops.
