You'd have to contact whoever owns that server.
If it was on the VM network then it would be their server & they would be able to fix it.

Good points - However servers usually give operators warning messages about this and that so either the operators who maintain that center are on holiday or are in need of some technical advise themselves. Either way I am not the one with an IP to telephone directory nor would they enjoy a chat about the health of their system with me.
In a world where people care what is to stop one server center asking another if they need some help?
Off topic when I wrote the message I also did a speed test on the 50Mb broadband discovering that it was also having a holiday at 25Mb, that is HALF the advertised speed! Not complaining, all baby's have teething problems.
It would however be great if as a customer finding a route too slow to traverse one could look at a map and choose another more suited to their needs.
