We apologise but are aware of a number of leased lines that have dropped because of a hardware fault on a core switch in London.
We will have this restarted within the hour and will be replacing this switch with a new one overnight. More status updates will be posted here.
[update] The initial issue was resolved before 6pm and the replacement hardware was installed in London this evening. This is being monitored but we hope this will resolve the issue once and for all

We are seeing a few ADSL/FTTC lines that we are unable to monitor internally to track performance and transfer speeds. To overcome this we may need to reboot an internal switch that will mean that the PPP sessions on these few lines will momentarily drop. The circuits should all come back on-line automatically, but if you find an issue please re-boot your router to establish the session.

One of our clustered mail-server machines will be updated and moved to a new location at some point tonight. This will not involve any down-time but mail delivery may be slightly slower than usual for a period of up to 2 hours as the databases sync back.
