As mentioned recently, we have physical separate fibre paths to the Internet in Sydney, and we’ve just been advised that one of those physical fibre paths (close to the Equinix Data Centre in Mascot, Sydney) is going to be cut and re-joined during some roadworks in metro Sydney on this coming Friday night (and into Saturday morning).
The Works Notice is for a 30 minute outage of this fibre occurring between 10pm from Thursday, October 17th and 6am on Friday, October 18th.
Our network should fail-over to solely use our other physical fibre path in Sydney for Internet connectivity and we’ll be monitoring this Telco-based (being an outage advised by the fibre owner) outage during Thursday evening and awaiting it returning to service and being stable.
If there are any relevant issues during this supplier outage, we’ll post tweets to our Ops twitter feed at https://twitter.com/netpresops
FYI,
Richard.
