As you would imagine, Storm Darragh will be causing broadband problems across the country with fallen trees, power failures, road closures etc. Openreach have put on extra staff during this time and will work to repair affected services as best as they can - but repair times may be longer than usual. If you are affected by faults, in most cases Openreach will already be aware. Running a line test from, the Control Pages may well show this, however please do email in and we'll try to update you.

MINOR Closed VoIP
AFFECTED
VoIP
STARTED
Nov 28, 12:10 PM (1½ months ago)
CLOSED
Dec 03, 10:50 AM (1¼ months ago)
DESCRIPTION
We're seeing problems with Zoipier and our VoIP service. Zoipier is a 3rd party soft phone that also has a service that manages calls via their own servers. We are seeing multiple registrations from the Zoipier servers. We're not yet sure of the cause or the impact this will have on our customers, but it looks like the Zoipier service is malfunctioning in some way.
Resolution: The issue has gone away... Zoiper say their side was working as expected, but us seeing hundreds of registrations per account from Zoipier didn't seen expected to us!

MINOR Closed VoIP
AFFECTED
VoIP
STARTED
Nov 20, 10:35 AM (1¾ months ago)
CLOSED
Nov 20, 11:30 AM (1¾ months ago)
DESCRIPTION
One of our VoIP carriers is reporting that they are aware of some issues that may be impacting calls – engineers are investigating and more information will follow as soon as possible.
Resolution: One of our carriers had a problem affecting calls - this would have affected some inbound calls to some numbers that we host.

Our carrier reports: Following on from our earlier issues we are now confident that we have isolated the problem but the underlying cause is still being investigated. Our initial findings are, as you can expect, that the failover systems did not meet our expectations in this event and that itself will be taken on as a project by our team to ensure greater resilience going forward.

At 11:02 we saw a number of Data SIMs drop and immediately reconnect. This looks to be caused by something in the mobile carrier. Outage for affected customers would have been very short (a few seconds for most)

CLOSED
Sep 01, 07:09 PM (4½ months ago)
DESCRIPTION
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.
