CLOSED
Dec 31, 01:55 PM (23¼ hours ago)
DESCRIPTION
Between 1PM and 2PM one of our links between Maidenhead and London datacentres suffered with latency and congestion - we suspect a problem within the 3rd party network we use. Unfortunately the fault was not enough to trigger re-routing and so this did disrupt some VoIP calls and access to some other services that we host in Maidenhead.
Resolution:

We are in a position where we are now able to re-enable one of our interconnects to Amazon/AWS.

(This was scheduled for Friday 28th, but as it was Black Friday, we've moved to Tuesday)

MAINTENANCE Completed Data SIMs
AFFECTING
Data SIMs
STARTED

CLOSED
Dec 12, 03:54 PM (19¾ days ago)
DESCRIPTION

Our old Data SIM service is due to be switched off by the network provider this weekend. Affected customers have already been posted new 'Bluewave' SIMs, and many customers have already swapped over. This post is here in case customers are unaware of this happening.

There is information on our News page regarding the need for the SIM swap. If customers are having problems then please do email us over the weekend or get in touch with us on Saturday (10am-2pm) or during the week.

UPDATE: SIMs did not drop at the weekend as expected. This means customers have a bit more time to migrate to the new SIMs. We're not sure when the old SIM service will stop working though.


Resolution: The OLD Data SIM service has now officially ceased. Customers have been sent replacement SIMs. If you have trouble with the new SIMs then please do get in touch with us.
