Update 24/03/2021 12:36 – LINX has informed us that they are still investigating the root cause of the incident and are going to be performing some changes to the live environment today to try and progress RCA.

We are still disconnected from peering with LINX until such a time that the RCA is complete and the platform has remained stable for an acceptable period of time.

Update 23/03/2021 16:20 – We are shutting down our peering sessions with the relevant connections at LINX. Customers may see a very brief interruption to traffic as it is routed via alternative feeds.

Update 23/03/2021 12:04 – LINX have reported a second issue with their connectivity. This does not appear to have caused any additional issues that we have observed. We are continuing to watch the situation.

Update 23/03/2021 11:53 – We have received confirmation from LINX that there was an issue with a device in their network which caused a connectivity issue for providers interconnected via that network. This issue has been resolved by the LINX.

We are aware that a number of customers may have experienced issues accessing our network between 11:15 and 11:40 (Tuesday 23/03/2021) and currently investigating the cause.

Initial investigation shows no outages on our on equipment, so we are reviewing the various internet peering points.

Our monitoring platforms are showing that connectivity has been restored. If you are still experiencing issues connecting to our platform please raise a service ticket and we will keep you informed.
