Shurely shome mishtake?

Ah so that's what happened did wonder why orange.net / .co.uk and it's user webspace / ftp system disappeared totally.. I mean I actually used the free webspace they gave away to put up a site, that was before the "ads" webspace they now do came about.

It was a tad annoying but I suppose totally outwith Orange's control. I've read so much bad press about them I can't say I've had any problem with them but then again I don't got a live box...

when GXNetworks (pipex) point of presence in leeds had scaffolding built up next to it blocking their wireless signal (that'll learn em!!!)

causing them to pay out on SLA's! :)

a single point of failure is a bad idea guys, in this instance you didnt have enough network resilience.......but of course higher management always scoff at the idea of spending money before a disaster happens!

It is just a conspiracy to load the wires with hardware to monitor all internet traffic - and wireless because we all know the internet is heading that way.

Alien - b/c if the government denies it we all know there is only one other realistic conspiracy option.

Probably installing a fibre optic splitter box to facilitate phishing....... which would be something similar to "Lies and deceit" ... By Bill Loney Posted Wednesday 2nd July 2008 11:20 GMT.

the interesting thing is there wasn't a SPOF and that they suffered two line breaks in geographically seperate locations.

"full service was restore within 5 hours"

Obviously, full service with the exception of their grammer checker!

PH icon, (au) natural(ly)

but thats jut the thing, because they use linked nodes to shove traffic around the country, you would think they would have more than just one other backup link

a company has two connections one for failover , blah blah

but the service provider should rather have more fo a grid rather than just point to point lines, but I am sure thats just asking too much :)

it wasnt long after the GXnetworks event, that the decline of (pipex) began

pipex was of course gxnetworks having bought pipex keeping the brand.

a lot of companies lost a lot of money over that couple of days.

I know people need to keep costs down, but like I keep telling DR managment meetings, the biggest cost is when something fails.

it was unlucky though ........ almost too unlucky (the 2x outages I mean)

Um the reason why fiber can be secured line is because the moment you splice into it some knows. Plus its not a five minute job. You need the proper tools. So if some did splice into the line and they didn't notice they should be shut down

Oh the irony of your *grammar* checker statement.....

Two , separate fibre breaks - same time? Sound's like one from the outage hat to me!

Err yes thats exactly what happened, the odds are exactly the same for each failure.

But not as high as the odds of them both happening at the same time.....

but surely they have the back up of wireless as thats their name obviously or is this just an example of misleading advertising?

Oh and btw, I am definitely convinced that amanfrommars is a bot because its sentence structure is non existent and looks like those dodgy pharmacy mails and has taken to just copy and pasting on some occasions.
