Zen also confirm the LINX issue as resolved.

Noticed it at work this afternoon myself too.

A mangled port upgrade caused an outage at Linx yesterday.

A spokesman for Linx (the London Internet Exchange) said a routine port upgrade introduced a problem which caused processor usage in a router to surge, leading to instability on one of its LANs.

Don't you just love the testing they do...

Steve · Jul 22, 2010, 16:29:47

No redundancy either

Rik · Jul 22, 2010, 16:31:05

There will be soon.

They should do these things late at night.

Rik · Jul 22, 2010, 16:57:05

It costs more, I guess.

pctech · Jul 22, 2010, 18:49:47

They supposedly have a dual vendor, dual LAN topology and encourage members to take at least a port on each to provide redundancy apparently.

Well thats the theory anyway.

Rik · Jul 22, 2010, 18:50:23

Great theory...

Might be better running a tracert (traceroute) that IP to see what route it is taking.

Put it up and we'll have a look.

My internet is really slow as well, I usually get about 6MB pretty constantly but the last few days it has all over the place. Down to just under 3MB at the moment. I was going to call idnet but it seems that they already know about it. Any idea when this is likely to be fixed?

Steve · Jul 23, 2010, 20:30:05

Not sure Pud with to regard 'fixing' do you know of a specific fault?

psp83 · Jul 28, 2010, 01:07:58

Having the same problem again at the mo.. some sites load fast and others dont

klipp · Jul 28, 2010, 13:29:28

I had no internet from about 11pm last night until this morning, but my internet is so screwed that it might not be related.

Rik · Jul 28, 2010, 14:59:38

Have you let support know?
