-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Customers may have noticed that we experienced a loss of much of our external connectivity during the early evening of Saturday October 4th. This was a result of losing both our connections to the London Internet Exchange (LINX) in succession. This exchange is one of the key points in the UK where ISPs exchange traffic with each other. Investigations revealed card failures in our switches at both our Telehouse UK and Anchorage House operations centres which would normally provide resilient service for each other. We are investigating the incident, in conjunction with our suppliers, to determine if there is any common mode of failure that could explain the loss of both switches in a short space of time. We regret any inconvenience that may have been caused Malcolm Muir Demon Internet - -- Malcolm S. Muir Demon Internet Ltd.
