outage?

[zappaDPJ]

It seem odd that some of us appear to have had a complete outage while others where able to do certain things. Perhaps ultimately it was a loss of bandwidth in the system that affect some more than others? 

[Rik]

It affected Adam too, though, Zap, who is LLU, so that tends to rule out IDNet and BT. That said, there was engineering work at Canary Wharf, but that should have been relatively brief.

[zappaDPJ]

Ah I missed that, we'll probably never know the cause then but luckily it didn't last too long.

[Rik]

I'm still trying to find out. ATM, I'm thinking LINX/LONAP.

[Technical Ben]

Oh, I noticed a couple of servers down yesterday, but no connection/internet problems.

[Niall]

I've been seeing very slow pages loading, and they were slow tonight. I've rebooted the router now and things seem okay now, although it's changed my profile so it's a bit slower downloading. Boo

It's world ending stuff you know, losing 800Kb/Sec

[Rik]

Always a risk when re-booting at this time of day, unfortunately, Niall.

[Niall]

It doesn't really bother me. My line is stable, which is more important to me than speed. I only switched to ADSL2+ for the upload increase, which increases when the download speed drops Which reminds me, I'm sure I've got some more photos to upload somewhere.

[D-Dan]

It just happened again - maybe only 2 minutes this time. Nothing in my router log, but I lost MSN and internet during that two minutes. Came back as quickly as it went

Maybe hackers trying to take over the internet ?

Ok, I need to stop watching tv/films 

[Simon]

Paranoid?  Of course I'm not paranoid!  Who told you that?! 

[Rik]

Marvin.

[Simon]

Malcolm, actually, but I don't know who Marvin is. 

[Rik]

You youngsters, no sense of history.

[zappaDPJ]

Next you'll be telling us you've never heard of Slartibartfast or know what a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is   

[Lance]

  

[Rik]

You had to be there.

[Ray]

Next you'll be telling us you've never heard of Slartibartfast or know what a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is    

No excuse for that, Zap, the film version has been on Sky Movies in the last 2 or 3 years,  

[zappaDPJ]

Indeed Ray 

[Bill]

Just happened again, for about ten minutes- no connection to anywhere. Sync and PPP stayed up, nothing in log, most sites seem OK now...

[Rik]

Same here.

[psp83]

I phoned as soon as it happened, Simon didn't know what was causing it at the time.

[Bill]

Gotta be routing- the tbb ping monitor shows 100% packet loss between them and me.

[Simon]

Same here, but could get BBC News via IDNet and O2, just not forums.

[Rik]

ATM, it's believed that there was a fault at Telehouse, more news when I get it.
