Good morning,

Level3, one of the largest backbone providers in the world, have suffered an outage this morning causing loss of access for many customers to our site (and many other sites too).

We're in the process of forcing the routing of our traffic over our Nildram link and hopefully that'll be complete in the next 20-30 minutes.

I'm sorry for the inconvenince this may have caused you this morning.

Maddoctor, I just phoned the faults helpline and the auto answering service was saying a major fault had occured.

KD.

DON,T ANY OF YOU SLEEP ??

Keadian , rang that myself , bloody useless - oh for the days when there was somebody at the end of the line

:O)

Bristlelad. Sleep is for wimps :-)

If you had my portfolio, you wouldn't sleep either!!

Millions and millions of people are right now checking as to whether their 'end of the month interest' has actually been credited to their Internet savings accounts and saying, "The site is down! The bastards! I bet they haven't yet done it and are actually doing it now. The bastards! I'll just have to check back later, I suppose. The bastards!"

Anyhow, that's what I'm saying because half the bloody Internet is down. The bastards!

:-)

I'm not concerned, I don't get interest.

:O(

Looks like it was more than just an outage:
