Contabo object storage EU server is down but their status page reports all good (contabostorage.com)

I'm posting this here because it's an incident that greatly eroded my trust towards contabo, and I believe other people could be interested.

I signed up to use their object storage in order to test it; today I noticed it's not working.

I expected to see this reflected on their status page at their status page [1] but it's not. I wrote to their support 45 minutes ago and got no reply (not even the canned "we received your email" one), and the status page is still unaware of the outage. I understand shit happens, but IMO status pages should tell you when it does.

In my experience (Fintech), status pages aren't actually hooked up to monitoring systems, they are updated manually.

But yeah it sucks that they haven't noticed and updated it.
