UK-wide internet outage - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

FYI to UK'ers - something has gone bang at the London Internet Exchange so expect some kind of outage at some point.

Both our IT support company and leased line providers have been in touch to say that although these things are self-healing there is a probability that everyone will experience some temperamental internet for the next few hours.

Does this apply to all ISPs?

No alerts at my work, or any network outages between US and EMEA. Is this specific ISPs or some bigger backbone problem?

It's the peering exchange apparently, we are getting some packet loss also.

At some point most UK internet traffic goes through LINX.

Both LINX networks back up apparently... phew

Someone tripped over the cord, huh?

Unless someone took a lawnmower to work...

And they didn't have orange powercables? Fail!
