Broadband Issues – 14/1/2020 [Updated]

We have detected a drop in a lot of broadband sessions from one of our upstream wholesale suppliers. We have raised this as a case and will update you as soon as possible. Both of our interconnects are only allowing a small number of live sessions so we believe this issue is on their network.

If you session has sync but will not connect this is probably the issue – we will update this case witin 30 minutes if not before

We apologise for the issue at this time

[update 8:30]

We are now seeing sessions return – we do not have an update from the supplier as yet and are following up for a formal update. As soon as we have some news we will update further

 

Switch Reboot – London Harbour Exchange Square

One of our core switches in Harbour Exchange Square had a routing issue about 14:20 today – after our team checked the switch it was decided the fastest resolution was to perform a routing engine switchover. We would normally plan this out of hours – However as this was causing issues to customers the decision was taken to perform this immediately.

This affected all services directly connected or routed through this switch

The switch reboot has now completed and service should be restored to all locations and services.

If there is still an ongoing issue for any services please report them to support in the normal way

We apologise for the issues this may have caused

 

OUTAGE: scheduled maintenance DSL overnight 10th April 2019

As part of our commitment to service improvement, we would like to inform you that we will be performing planned critical maintenance as part of capacity upgrades on our core network

Maintenance window start: Wednesday 10th April 2019 23:00 GMT

Maintenance window end: Thursday 11th April 2019 06:00 GMT

Expected impact duration: The work will impact some of our DSL subscriber customers, and they will see an intermittent service within the maintenance, with a short period of down time. Service should be restored automatically but it may require a router re-boot. If after this action, service hasn’t been restored, please raise a support case in the normal manner.

OUTAGE: scheduled maintenance broadband 16th/17th Feb 2019

We will be upgrading some of our core routers that terminate broadband sessions during the course of the weekend – each will be down for less than 30 seconds for an important firmware upgrade. These will be staggered over the two days. Most affected customers will reconnect within seconds automatically. If you have any issues, please reboot your router and if that fails for any reason, please call into or email support in the normal way. This will only affect ADSL, FTTC & FTTP lines.  

CLOSED: Portal diagnostics

UPDATE: the supplier code issues have been worked around and all tests are now available again.

—————————–

We are aware of issues working with the APIs from the suppliers that’s affecting the ability to run diagnostics via the Merula portal (https://adslreports.merula.net); we are working on this now and will advise here as soon as this is resolved. Apologies for this loss of service.
