Crypto and Tribecca crash twice at EXACTLY the same time

[beating nero]

I was on 2 crypto tables and 2 tribecca tables yesterday evening and both networks crashed twice for about 15 mins each time. First crash was at 21.15 GMT and second about 22.20 GMT. They both stopped at exactly the same time both times (Literally to the second), and both came back at the same time(Again literally to the second).

I thought it might be my ISP but my connnection was fine for other sites, and on both networks all the tables collapsed and many other players were ranting in the chat when the sites came back on!! And (As I was in a STT) I switched to my backup dial-up connection with a different ISP and the networks were both down.

I am a bit suspicious that 2 totally separate networks are obviously linked in some secret way. Or are they linked?

Dude, the fact that other sites are working fine does not mean that your ISP does not access both Tribeca and Cryptologic through a commongateway. Obviously if such a gateway exists and it is down, both sites will be down for you as well.

The common gateway is the Quebec server farm that hosts most gaming sites.
