MAINTENANCE Assumed Completed VoIP and SIMs

VoIP and SIMs
STARTED

DESCRIPTION
3G is being phased out by all mobile network operators, and will stop working for our data SIMs in early September. The data SIMs we provide already support 4G. In a small number of cases it is possible that devices are too old to support 4G, in which case the device is sadly obsolete and will need replacing in order to keep connectivity. You will be emailed if we think your SIM is one which is in a device still operating via 3G.

MAINTENANCE Assumed Completed Ordering

Ordering
STARTED
Jul 01, 03:09 PM (2¼ months ago)
DESCRIPTION
As some people will have noticed, we have some ongoing work on the ordering system. Right now we have old and new ordering system in place, and are gradually moving each order type over. The main priority has been "new provides" and "migrations to us", as this has to handle the new OFCOM mandated "One Touch Switching" system. The whole One Touch System has been a massive challenge for a lot of ISPs. We are trying to ensure links on the web site link to the right things, and hopefully we will soon have everything on the new system. For now, new provides, tariff changes, and shortly ceases, will be on the new system, but we are working through it. But if you have any problems with any type of order, please do contact the sales team who will be happy to sort it out, whether ordering a new service or trying to cease a service. Just ask.

MAINTENANCE Assumed Completed authoritative DNS

authoritative DNS
STARTED
Jun 03, 10:35 AM (3¼ months ago)
DESCRIPTION

This is only relevant to customers who run their own authoritative DNS servers and use our secondary-dns.co.uk as an additional nameserver.

Overview: We run a "secondary" DNS service for customers where they run the master DNS server and we are secondary slaves. We have a project underway that involves migrating all our authoritative DNS services to a new platform. As part of this we are needing to disable some of the automation we do for adding and updating the customer's master IP address automatically.

The change: From June 17th, If you run your own master DNS server for your domain(s) and secondary-dns.co.uk is a slave, if you change the IP address of your master you will need to contact support@aa.net.uk to request us to update our side.

We have more information about our Authoritative DNS project on our Support Site: https://support.aa.net.uk/New_Authoritive_DNS

    We're currently investigating reports of routing problems to some destinations.
    Resolution: BGP is used on the internet to exchange where to route IP addresses. Messages are constantly sent between routers to update this routing information. Today, some of our routers had failed to properly update their routing information which in turn caused routing to some destinations not to work.

    This is a reminder than our "anti slamming" service will stop on 12th Sep 2024. Sorry.

    This is a result of OFCOM mandated One Touch Switching process, and consequential changes by BT.

    We do offer the option on broadband lines to tell us a new surname for your service, which will make a "match" using One Touch Switching fail if not correct. This may help residential customers, and OTS may also avoid some mistakes happening.

    However, migration of a service away from us will be possible without One Touch Switching, with no checks, no surname or account match, and no way for us to stop it, and at little or no notice, from 12th Sep 2024, for residential and business customers.

    If you suffer slamming we will try and work with you, and see if migrating back quickly is possible or the right thing for you. But there can be costs implications we have yet to work out depending on the specific service.

    We have erroneously sent some customers a bill for "usage topup". These are in the process of being credited as they were sent in error. This was caused by the change we today to remove the monthly quota on some customer lines.
    Resolution: Credit notes have now been issued - we do apologise for the problem this caused!
