This morning at about 0815 the power the the Finchley NOC failed. When
the local power was returned at about 0845 the surge tripped a number
of the breakers in the various electricity distribution panels.

The majority of the services were restored by about midday.

Services still affected are primarily news and one of the web servers.
One of the disks in news.demon.co.uk failed and we have brought the
new news server on line early whilst the disk(s) are replaced with an
upgrade that was planned for the next couple of weeks. The news server
at the moment only has a few days worth of news on it, and it would
be impracticle to try to repopulate the earlier days worth of news.

The work that will be taking place on Sunday will (according to the
design) stop surges causing so many problems if there are any future
problems.

Demon Internet apologise for any inconvenience caused during this
major outage and hope that we will not witness any future problems
of a similar scale once Sundays' work is completed.

Regards,
