network maintenance Sunday April 29th from 2AM until 3AM EST

[Qu (aka pasQuale)]

This is from my provider:

On Sunday April 29th from 2AM until 3AM EST, we will be performing scheduled maintenance on AGG2 to replace a blade in the router. The expected downtime for this maintenance is 10 - 20 minutes however we are leaving the maintenance window open for an hour for any unexpected issues which might
arise. We thank you for your time and attention to this
matter.

EST? What time is it in GMT then?

I’m always confused because of the different timezones

[Qu (aka pasQuale)]

EST is 6 hours behind dutch time. So 2 AM EST is 8 AM in holland. And GMT it would be 6 AM, if I calculated right.

I think EST is GMT-7 ?

I looked it up and saw that EST is GMT - 5, but “In some areas, starting in 2007, the local time changes at 02:00 EST to 03:00 EDT on the second Sunday in March and returns at 02:00 EDT to 01:00 EST on the first Sunday in November.” So if that is taken into account, than it is GMT - 4 and that is 6 hours behind dutch time. And thus is correct with what Qu said.

@Sandra

So if that is taken into account,

It’s not March any more, so it’s redundant until November.

Eastern Standard Time is 5 hours behind GMT. (except for 2 weeks in March and 1 week in November)

Pacific Time is a pain to figure out because some states don’t follow daylights savings at all. But in general it is 8 hrs, except for the same time periods as with EST.
