We have become aware during the day of an increasing number of drop outs on one of our Virgin Media Bearers which provides service for approx 30 leased lines. Virgin are aware of this and are actively working to identify and resolve the fault. Note this does not affect all lines just those terminating on the affected handover in Huntingdon. Note lines are not hard down but we are seeing multiple drops for 30-90 seconds.
We will update this as we have a further update
Sep 2, 2024 | Outages, Unplanned downtime
We are aware of an outage affecting multiple OFNL based connections starting at approx 9:48 – we are awaiting an update from OFNL on the cause as this appears to be an issue on their network as opposed to ours.
We will update this as we know more
[Update 12:30]
We have started to see connections restore and the OFNL site itself is now back up. We have been informed that they have worked round the issue – however there may be a reduction in network capacity (and therefore some slow speeds) while work continues to fully resolve the issue
We will continue to update this post as we know more
[Resolved 14:30]
We have been monitoring the service all afternoon and can confirm that since we saw the service restore approx 12:30 we have not seen any further issues. OFNL have also confirmed the fault is cleared from their side. We & they are sorry for the issues that affected our customers today

We are aware of an outage affecting our core switch in Telehouse North. This initially was a wider issue however we have now isolated this issue to services directly connected in Telehouse North.
We have an engineer en route (eta should be less than 30 minutes) and we will then have a clearer picture of the cause – and hope that service will be restored shortly thereafter
We will update this as soon as we have it
[resolved]
This issue was fully by 17:35 – One of our switches in Telehouse North had crashed – the route cause will be investigated and worked on if needed. We apologise for the issue seen here

We are seeing one of our Virgin Media NNIs down currently affecting services that are provided on the affected NNI
This is being raised with Virgin Media currently and we will update this post as we have mode details.
NOTE this only affects leased lines on the one affected link – other services are working.
[Update 13:10]
We have the following update from Virgin Media
We’re aware of an issue impacting your services
Network Teams have identified a number of 10gb High Capacity Services have lost connectivity.
An Engineer had already been requested and arrived onsite in Northampton at 12:13 and investigations are underway.
All respective support teams have been engaged to progress investigations and create a fix plan.
We will update as we know more
[Update 14:00]
We have seen the affected NNI return to service just before 2pm. We do not have an update from Virgin to confirm that this is fully resolved – but for now we see services back to normal. We do treak them as ‘at risk’ until the issue is closed down.

We saw loss of connectivity to some of the servers in Huntingdon between 3pm and 4pm this afternoon. This was due to an issue with one power feed to a core rack.
Most of our new network is now dual fed- however some of the legacy network on the older Cisco switches is single fed. We saw one switch down during the issue.
Our engineers attended site and resolved the issue – we are performing further checks and will continue the replace the older switches as quickly as we can.
We apologise for any issues
