Upcoming BT Faraday and Stepney Green Maintenance

[pctech]

Might turn out to be another non event but saw these today

Faraday scheduled for Monday night http://status.zensupport.co.uk/index.php?serviceid=5&incidentid=1986&simple=1

Stepney Green scheduled for Thursday http://status.zensupport.co.uk/index.php?serviceid=5&incidentid=1987&simple=1

Thanks, Mitch, BT strike again. Stepney Green is likely to affect large numbers.

[pctech]

Thought so as that was the BRAS that failed during the day a few weeks back wasn't it?

[Rik]

It was indeed. It seems the whole country routes through it (which suggests BT have never looked at how the internet works when planning their own network).

[pctech]

Appears not but I bet they can reroute traffic easily when it affects their own broadband customers.

[Rik]

Too right.

Looks like the Stepney Green maintenance has been cancelled.

[Rik]

It has, all metro node work has been cancelled. Curious, eh?

Someone has probably had it away with their bag of spanners.

[Rik]

I reckon the container from China has been delayed.

[Simon]

They just didn't want you to miss all the fun, Rik. 

[pctech]

Maybe they've gone on a course.

[Rik]

180 degrees?

They just didn't want you to miss all the fun, Rik. 

[pctech]

180 degrees?

No, how not to #!~& up an upgrade.

If there was an award for professional incompetence, BT would tie with the bankers of the bailed out banks.

[Rik]

I think BT would win, Mitch.
