IDNet planned maintenance - 29/10/2011

Rik · Oct 28, 2011, 12:46:19

In case you haven't seen the announcement:

We will be performing some core network maintenance tomorrow. This is to install some new equipment to add further resiliance into the network. No disruption to service is planned but, as with any work of this nature, service is At Risk.

Where was that announced, Rik, I have nothing in my mailbox?

Steve · Oct 28, 2011, 12:54:02

I see it's on the website http://www.idnet.net/support/status.jsp

Rik · Oct 28, 2011, 12:54:41

On the RSS feed, Glenn.

Glenn · Oct 28, 2011, 12:58:26

OK, I don't get the feed at work.

Simon · Oct 28, 2011, 13:09:23

I don't get it at all, so thanks for the heads up, Rik, as I don't tend to check the website every day.

I dropped about 11 minutes ago, I assume this is related.

(Note: looks to be just a PPP drop)

Rik · Oct 29, 2011, 10:35:06

Not necessarily, I haven't seen any effects yet, but then it could depend on factors I don't know about.

Gary · Oct 29, 2011, 10:35:57

Things seem a bit slower than normal today...or it could be me

Typical, its back to normal as soon as I type that.

esh · Oct 29, 2011, 10:48:40

Well, the ADSL never dropped so I guess it was not something at the exchange, could be a coincidence but I just assumed given the announcement something was going on. It's fine anyway. It tested the new ADSL2+ router came back up.

Rik · Oct 29, 2011, 10:51:52

As I say, it's possible that there will be a rolling effect that hasn't reached me yet. While I know what's happening, I don't know the exact details of the effects.

I suspect that's symptomatic of the routing changes kicking in, Gary. I've seen a few slow patches too.

Baz · Oct 29, 2011, 12:03:32

just looked at router logs and I had a drop at about 10.05 till 10.18

was just getting a good run too

Simon · Oct 29, 2011, 12:42:54

Just had a four or five minute outage. No mail or web access. Seems to have returned now.

Rik · Oct 29, 2011, 12:43:42

Same here.

esh · Oct 29, 2011, 13:05:08

Yes I got (another) drop too. Suffering a few routing glitches at the minute, might take a few moments for the computers here to catch up with what's going on I guess.

Edit: 13:11 Suddenly the routing is back.

jezuk1 · Oct 29, 2011, 13:20:59

My PPP went down for around 5 minutes also, back now.

Baz · Oct 29, 2011, 13:29:33

just had another 30min drop.router was connected but still got no sites for 15 mins after it was back up.

I might have to venture out the house or even read a paper..........OR MAKE GENERAL CHIT CHAT WITH THE FAMILY

Whatever next

Rik · Oct 29, 2011, 14:14:55

The work is now completed.

Ray · Oct 29, 2011, 14:19:21

not that I've seen any problems apart from the Forum and the mail briefly.

Rik · Oct 29, 2011, 14:22:03

Same here, Ray.

.Griff. · Oct 29, 2011, 14:29:35

Thanks for the heads up. You'd think updates like this would be emailed to each customer but that's probably too sensible.

Rik · Oct 29, 2011, 14:36:32

We try to fill in the gaps, Griff.

Of course, if people take the RSS feed (and I do recommend it), they will have received notification.

vitriol · Oct 29, 2011, 17:14:40

I was wondering why the net was slow today, glad I came here to check.

Speed is still a bit slow. Hopefully it'll pick up soon.

Rik · Oct 29, 2011, 17:19:36

Speed is fine here.
