Posted by David Croft on 27 May 2014 04:26 PM
Please be advised of the following EMERGENCY maintenance window
scheduled by one of our transit providers:

Date: Thursday, 29th May 2014
Start time: 00:01 BST (UTC+0100)

Purpose:

One of our transit providers will perform EMERGENCY maintenance to
replace failing hardware on core network equipment in order to prevent
future interruptions to service.

Services affected:

Internet access.

Low.

Routing to some Internet destinations will fail over to alternative

resilient nature of our network and transit connections, however
services are "at-risk" during this window. IP voice services will be
unaffected.
