Broadband service drop

Wednesday, April 25th, 2012

Newnet would like to advise customers that have just seen a large number of broadband circuits drop out in the last 45 minutes, however whilst many circuits have recovered some are still affected.

We are currently investigating the cause and will post further updates as they are available.

Newnet would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Update 1445 - All circuits now appear to have recovered, however any customers still experiencing issues should reboot their router in the first instance. If this does not restore connectivity please contact the support desk on 01329 226 723.

We are still investigating the root cause, however this appears to be related to our connection to BT and hence we have engaged BT to investigate.

Update 1900 - Unfortunately BT have not been able to identify the cause of today’s issues yet, however their investigations are continuing. We are continuing to closely monitor all services at present, and further updates will be provided when available.

BT and Newnet engineers have now identified the cause of the issues and an RFO is in the process of being created. Any customers who would like a copy should contact support@newnet.co.uk and we will provide this when available.
