Update at 16:32:15(GMT): The issues now seem to be resolved.

---

Update at 14:17:47(GMT): One of our upstream transit providers, Above.net, have informed us that the issues with LINX should now be resolved.

The current theory is that a broken port on one of their switches was causing the disruption.

Any customers still experiencing issues they believe to be related are encouraged to contact support to aide in debugging.

---

Customers should please be aware that one of the largest and most popular Internet peering exchanges, LINX, are having severe issues with one of their network switches.

Whilst 34SP do not directly take any peering connections via LINX, our upstream transit providers do and so do many of the ISPs that our customers utilise.

Because of this, certain customers are experiencing slow or lossy connections to our network. This is out of our control.

At present we're trying to collect as much information as possible from our customers in the vague hope that we may be able to improve things indirectly.

Our support operatives are not able to perform any action bar gathering information.

Please ensure that you have tested other websites across the Internet, thoroughly (although this is not an exact metric due to the way that routing and peering work between ISPs) and, if necessary, ensure that your own Internet Service Provider is aware of the issue.

Customers using the Windows-based Personal hosting service, Gambit, may have noticed that e-mails to their mailboxes are being denied with a code related to a storage failure.

This is in fact not caused by a lack of disk space, but by a few corrupt database tables that the mail server uses for tracking incoming e-mail.

We're repairing the tables now and hope to resume service shortly.

We appreciate your patience throughout this issue.

---

Update at 14:07:17(GMT): The VPS host is back up and running and VPS' are starting-up slowly. This takes a short while for each VPS on first-boot as the disk quotas need to be recalculated.

We hope to have all VPS' running again shortly.

Update at 00:45:20(GMT): The downed router has now been returned to service and all traffic routes should be returning to normal.

---

Update at 23:59:29(GMT): We have an Engineer en-route to our data centre to deal with the issue directly.

We hope to restore full service within the next hour or so.

---

Update at 22:56:41(GMT): We are currently dealing with a downed edge router in our London data centre.

As we have redundant routers in each data centre (as well as redundant, geographically-diverse links to the Internet) there is no sustained outage associated with this status post, given that all fail-over mechanisms have worked as designed.

However, some customers may find that websites and services could respond a little slower than usual due to sub-optimal routing paths that add some latency to their connections.

We're working to restore service to this router as soon as possible.

Update at 11:47:44(GMT): There's been a few service outages since the reboot, but this is related more to restarts due to high load (common after a complete outage - lots of page refreshes, etc.) and we're happy to now resolve this status message.

Any customers with any lingering issues are encouraged to contact our support team via e-mailing support@34sp.com.

---

Update at 10:21:48(GMT): The server is back up, we're investigating into what happened and will be running a check across all databases as a precautionary measure.

The service-interrupting work was completed around an hour ago, but we've been running as many tests and checks across the new configuration to ensure all is sane. At present the network seems to be running well again.

Looking forward, this maintenance will provide future-proofing to the network performance in Manchester, as it grows.

If anyone is experiencing any lingering issues, please contact support@34sp.com as soon as is possible.

---

Update at 00:10:55(GMT): This work will be beginning now.

---

Customers residing on servers in our Manchester data centre are to be advised that we are going to have to perform some maintenance on our network switches, owing to a heavy increase in traffic that has recently brought to light several short-comings of this network.

We need to make some changes to the cabling topology and switch configurations to correct this. It will unfortunately mean that we will have some intermittent service outages as network paths are re-calculated, to account for the changes.

The work will be commencing in approximately 45-60 minutes, with patches of disruption during a window of around 30 minutes.

We will update this page as and when new information becomes available - thank you for your patience.
