Further to the outage yesterday and the corrective work by the carrier we will attempt to bring the link that failed back into service this evening. If all works to plan there may be a brief network disruption while the network reconverges. If the link fails again we will remove it from the network and continue work with our supplier.

The link was brought on line approx 12:30am this morning – However the previous issue re-occurred. This has been raised to the supplier who believe this is resolved this correctly now, We will plan a further maintenance shortly to bring the link back into service. In the mean time there is no reduction to service – but there is a slight reduction in resilience to our Manchester PoP
