  <title>Darklight Outage - Bradford Region</title>

    Type: Incident
    

    Affected Components: Darklight
    Feb 16, 22:25:00 GMT+0 - Investigating - Customers affected are currently offline. The fault is affecting the same customers as a recent previous outage.
The issue has been raised with the affected supplier. Feb 19, 11:37:42 GMT+0 - Resolved - All affected circuits have now been restored and the service is fully operational. Feb 18, 10:13:09 GMT+0 - Investigating - Following the arson attack, the suppliers have migrated this outage into an emergency maintenance window that will run from now until 19:00 on Thursday, 19th February.

We have seen some of the affected circuits come back online, but these circuits could drop again during the maintenance window as the suppliers work to repair the damaged fibres.

We will provide further updates as soon as we have them. Feb 17, 10:39:58 GMT+0 - Investigating - The suppliers have confirmed that the current outage is in relation to an arson attack that has again caused significant damage to the fibres in the location.

We have identified all affected customers and made contact with them. If you are offline and you have not had a call from Exa, please call us on 0345 145 1234, and the Helpdesk team will be happy to assist.

They have engineering teams on site and they are working to identify and respliace any affected fibres as efficiently as they can.

  <title>Darklight Partial Outage - Yorkshire Region</title>
  <description>
    Type: Incident
    

    Affected Components: Darklight
    Feb 4, 08:49:00 GMT+0 - Investigating - We are aware of an issue that will be affecting a few of our DarkLight conectivity customer in Bradford, Leeds and the Sheffield Region.

Our Networking team are investigating, and we will provide a further update as soon as we have any more information. Feb 6, 09:30:38 GMT+0 - Resolved - The incident has been resolved Feb 6, 09:23:11 GMT+0 - Investigating - The supplier has completed repairs to the affected fibres and services are operating normally.

At this stage no further impact is expected but there remains a possibility of follow up activity during their 48 hour maintenance window. Feb 5, 08:34:31 GMT+0 - Investigating - The suppliers have been working overnight and are continuing to identify and replace any fire-damaged cables, but due to the amount of damage, it will take them some time for the engineers to be able to replace and resplice all affected cables.

We will provide further updates as soon as we get more information. Feb 4, 17:32:51 GMT+0 - Investigating - Our suppliers have just provided an update to let us know they are enforcing a 48-hour emergency maintenance window, starting at 8 pm this evening, to allow the teams sufficient time to fully replace the damaged fibres.

As a result of this work, they have advised that some connections that have not been affected already will go down when the fibres are cut and replaced.

We will monitor the connections and provide further updates over the next 48 hours.

W Feb 4, 15:29:46 GMT+0 - Investigating - The suppliers are continuing their efforts to repair the fire-damaged cables and will be onsite till the work has been completed.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this will be causing you, and we will provide further updates as we get them. Feb 4, 12:22:48 GMT+0 - Investigating - The suppliers have advised that the fibre damage has been caused by a Fire. They need to replace a length of fibre, after which they will proceed to splice the new fibres.

They have multiple engineering teams on site, who will be working in rotation until they have confirmed all affected services are back online.

We will continue to liaise with the suppliers and provide any further updates as soon as we have any more information. Feb 4, 09:52:00 GMT+0 - Investigating - We have identified and resolved the issue for our Leeds customers, but we do still have an outage for our Bradford DarkLight customers, and a singular connection is still affected in Sheffield.

The issue within Bradford has been linked to a fibre break that our suppliers are aware of and now have engineers on site working to fix the issue.

We will provide further updates as we have them.

  <title>DarkLight Outage - Sheffield Region</title>
  <description>
    Type: Incident
    

    Affected Components: Darklight
    Oct 17, 05:00:00 GMT+0 - Investigating - We are aware of an outage that will affect all of our DarkLight customers in the Sheffield region.

The outage is a result of maintenance work that the suppliers were carrying out, and should have completed no later than 6 am this morning.

We have contacted the suppliers to investigate this as a matter of urgency, and we will provide further updates as soon as we have them.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience this wiil be causing you this morning. Oct 17, 12:34:01 GMT+0 - Resolved - The suppliers have now confirmed that the splicing work has been completed, so we will now be closing down this status.

We are sorry again for the inconvenience this has caused you today.

If you are still unable to connect to the internet, please call our Helpdesk on 0345 145 1234, and the team will be happy to assist. Oct 17, 12:32:39 GMT+0 - Investigating - We have just seen the restoration of services that have been affected by the outage.

Please note that until the suppliers have confirmed the outage is closed, we will be classifying thr circuits as at risk and we will continue to monitor them closely. Oct 17, 11:18:39 GMT+0 - Investigating - From the latest update we have received from the Suppliers, it has now become clear that the resolution for this might take a few days.

The maintenance work was to migrate all of the circuits in the Sheffield region to a new location. Following the cut of the fibres, the suppliers have been unable to successfully resplice the fibre correctly due to the incorrect documentation they hold.

They are now having to manually test each fibre to determine which fibres need to be spliced together for each circuit to return a working connection. This process will take some time.

The engineers will be working through the rest of today and over the weekend, if needed, until we are happy that all affected customers have a working internet connection again.

Exa will have weekend support available between 10 am and 4 pm, but we will be updating the stats page outside of our usual working hours, as and when updates come in from the supplier.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience this will cause you, and we appreciate your understanding whilst we work hard with the suppliers to resolve the outage. Oct 17, 10:10:05 GMT+0 - Investigating - Exa has sent our own Network Architect to assist the suppliers in getting this resolved as soon as possible.

They arrived at the ASK4 data centre in Sheffield just before 11 am. Further updates will follow shortly. Oct 17, 08:58:10 GMT+0 - Investigating - The supplier has now confirmed that the maintenance that was due to be completed at 6 am has overrun due to unforeseen complications.

Engineers are still on site working to restore all affected services as soon as possible. Oct 17, 07:40:55 GMT+0 - Investigating - The suppliers&#039; engineers are still working to resolve the affected services. We will provide further updates as we have them. Oct 17, 06:15:41 GMT+0 - Investigating - Our suppliers have engineers on-site in Sheffield who are investigating this at the moment.

As soon as we have an update from them, we will update this status.

If you are still unable to connect to the internet, please call our Helpdesk on 0345 145 1234, and the team will be happy to assist..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;Oct &lt;var data-var=&#039;date&#039;&gt; 17&lt;/var&gt;, &lt;var data-var=&#039;time&#039;&gt;12:32:39&lt;/var&gt; GMT+0&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Investigating&lt;/strong&gt; -
  We have just seen the restoration of services that have been affected by the outage.

Please note that until the suppliers have confirmed the outage is closed, we will be classifying thr circuits as at risk and we will continue to monitor them closely..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;Oct &lt;var data-var=&#039;date&#039;&gt; 17&lt;/var&gt;, &lt;var data-var=&#039;time&#039;&gt;11:18:39&lt;/var&gt; GMT+0&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Investigating&lt;/strong&gt; -
  From the latest update we have received from the Suppliers, it has now become clear that the resolution for this might take a few days.

The maintenance work was to migrate all of the circuits in the Sheffield region to a new location. Following the cut of the fibres, the suppliers have been unable to successfully resplice the fibre correctly due to the incorrect documentation they hold.

They are now having to manually test each fibre to determine which fibres need to be spliced together for each circuit to return a working connection. This process will take some time.

The engineers will be working through the rest of today and over the weekend, if needed, until we are happy that all affected customers have a working internet connection again.

Exa will have weekend support available between 10 am and 4 pm, but we will be updating the stats page outside of our usual working hours, as and when updates come in from the supplier.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience this will cause you, and we appreciate your understanding whilst we work hard with the suppliers to resolve the outage..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;Oct &lt;var data-var=&#039;date&#039;&gt; 17&lt;/var&gt;, &lt;var data-var=&#039;time&#039;&gt;10:10:05&lt;/var&gt; GMT+0&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Investigating&lt;/strong&gt; -
  Exa has sent our own Network Architect to assist the suppliers in getting this resolved as soon as possible.

They arrived at the ASK4 data centre in Sheffield just before 11 am. Further updates will follow shortly..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;Oct &lt;var data-var=&#039;date&#039;&gt; 17&lt;/var&gt;, &lt;var data-var=&#039;time&#039;&gt;08:58:10&lt;/var&gt; GMT+0&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Investigating&lt;/strong&gt; -
  The supplier has now confirmed that the maintenance that was due to be completed at 6 am has overrun due to unforeseen complications.

Engineers are still on site working to restore all affected services as soon as possible..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;Oct &lt;var data-var=&#039;date&#039;&gt; 17&lt;/var&gt;, &lt;var data-var=&#039;time&#039;&gt;07:40:55&lt;/var&gt; GMT+0&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Investigating&lt;/strong&gt; -
  The suppliers&#039; engineers are still working to resolve the affected services. We will provide further updates as we have them..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;Oct &lt;var data-var=&#039;date&#039;&gt; 17&lt;/var&gt;, &lt;var data-var=&#039;time&#039;&gt;06:15:41&lt;/var&gt; GMT+0&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Investigating&lt;/strong&gt; -
  Our suppliers have engineers on-site in Sheffield who are investigating this at the moment.

As soon as we have an update from them, we will update this status..&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>DarkLight Connectivity Issue</title>
  <description>
    Type: Incident
    

    Affected Components: Darklight
    Sep 30, 07:20:00 GMT+0 - Investigating - A small number of DarkLight customers are currently facing connectivity issues due to maintenance performed by our supplier last night. We are in contact with the supplier to resolve this matter as quickly as possible.

We will provide an update as soon as we receive more information from them. Oct 1, 13:19:02 GMT+0 - Investigating - The incident has been resolved Sep 30, 10:17:23 GMT+0 - Investigating - Work is continuing to restore the affected service.

We have sent our Engineers to the data centre in Halifax to replace some affected hardware. Following supplier maintenance work last night, there appears to have been an unusually high level of optical light on the fibre, which has resulted in damage to the SFPs at both ends. They have now been replaced, and we are starting to see affected services come back online.

We will continue to monitor and update this status as soon as we have any more information.

Sorry again for the inconvenience this has caused you so far today.

  <title>DarkLight - Sheffield Region Outage</title>
  <description>
    Type: Incident
    

    Affected Components: Darklight
    Jul 29, 16:12:00 GMT+0 - Investigating - We are aware that DarkLight connectivity customers in the Sheffield region will currently be unable to access the internet.

We have escalated this to the suppliers to investigate. From our diagnostics, there is an issue with one of the main fibres between Leeds and Sheffield.

We will provide updates as soon as we have them. Jul 30, 05:41:46 GMT+0 - Investigating - The service has been restored overnight, and all affected connections will now be online again. From the monitoring, we can see the circuits were back up at 23:40.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

If you are still unable to access the internet, please call our Helpdesk from 8 am on 0345 145 1234, and the team will be more than happy to help. Jul 29, 21:58:00 GMT+0 - Investigating - The engineering team have been able to confirm the fibre goes the full distance between the data centres in Sheffield and Leeds, so there is confidence that there is no fibre break.

They are currently gaining access to the AQL data centre in Leeds to confirm everything is patched correctly; following this, a further update will be provided.

The next update from Exa will be posted no later than 8 am. Jul 29, 21:45:08 GMT+0 - Investigating - The engineering team are still working to repair the affected fibre, and we are awaiting a comprehensive update from the suppliers.

Further updates to follow as we get more information. Jul 29, 19:12:08 GMT+0 - Investigating - The engineering team arrived on site just after 7pm, and they are working to resolve the issue. Jul 29, 17:29:05 GMT+0 - Investigating - The suppliers have dispatched an engineering team to investigate the affected fibre.

We will provide the next update once the engineers have carried out their investigations.

We&#039;re sorry for any inconvenience that this supplier outage will be causing you.
