Another Outage !

This is getting beyond a joke. Or is it getting to be a joke?

Hey, could be worse.. You could be with a mainstream provider and still be in the dark. I am not an AA customer and won't be until the day comes they do 1 month contracts, but the MD took the time to sit down and write it out.

Kudos ?

You are right - It could be worse.

And it is. Out again for some hours last night.

It appears that the outage was not down to A&A but BT.

We were given advanced notice:-

Posted: 23 Mar 10:33:28 On the 29th March BT are planning to update some of their core routers. The work is expected to take roughly an hour sometime between 02:00-06:00. We expect this to affect most of our customers on BT backhaul.

I continue to be delighted with A&A.

Clearly you missed the DDoS attack they had the last couple of days? That status post was from the 23rd!

Yes - I'm glad to say this DoS attack didn't impact on me.

From the status log it looks as if "Mostly broadband traffic not impacted - but services in Maidenhead are being hit, including VoIP and web servers."

and "Overall traffic for broadband customers does not seem to be that impacted"

The status post was from the 23rd, as you correctly say, it was giving advance notice on the planned downtime by BT in the wee small hours of the 29th. I note there is another planned for 19th April.

I appreciate A&A being so open & keeping us informed.

Must have been on a different gateway to me then...

Making the name of your BQM your IP address and then sharing it isn't a very good idea!

It's not my IP. It's an AAISP gateway...
