Advance Notice - Network Maintenance - 26th April 2011 05:00 - 06:30am

Dear All,

This is an advance notice of maintenance on our network on 26th April 2011, between 05:00 and 06:30am

This should not affect any of our services, but we just wanted you to be aware of the important work that is being carried out.

The technical notice is as follow:-

Network Maintenance - Router Software Upgrades

The routers BG1 and BG2 in our Manchester datacentre will have an IOS software upgrade during the maintenance window above. The expected downtime as a result of the reload is 5 minutes per router, during which, customers who are served solely by either of these units will suffer a small period of downtime. The upgrades will be performed on one device at a time. Other customers should not be affected, although there is a chance of some routing instability for a few minutes after the reload.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, but it is important to ensure our core routing equipment is running the latest software revisions which the manufacturer advises will address a number of recently discovered bugs and vulnerabilities.

ADSL Issues Resolved

Dear All,

Thank you for your patience.

We have been able to track the routing problem, that was affecting a number of our customers, down to an issue between 2 of our core routers.

We have now been able to correct this issue which seems to have been a legacy configuration from a number of years ago, conflicting with resent updates.

It should not have been necessary to reboot your ADSL router to gain internet access, but please do feel free to contact us if you are still having problems - support@sointernet.com or 0161 615 1275
