We will be performing an update to our Webmail service this afternoon between 5 pm and 6 pm.
The work is being carried out to update to a new release of the RoundCube mail software.
If you encounter any issues after the work, please contact our Helpdesk, and we will be happy to help.
The fix that was implemented has resolved the issue. If you are still experiencing internet access problems, please restart your router in the first instance. If that does not restore your connection, contact our Support Team at 0345 145 1234 for further assistance.
We have identified an issue that is affecting some of our SoGEA and FTTP customers, which is preventing them from accessing the internet. We are currently rolling out a fix and once this has been completed, a further update will be posted.
We will shortly be carrying out some emergency maintenance on one of our SurfProtect servers that is responsible for handling the analytics and logging for our ExaCube customers.
The work is being done to prevent the potential of website analytics data. Our Services team has identified an issue, and the best course of action to preserve the data is to restart the service.
All customers using this service will experience up to 60 seconds of downtime while the restart is in action.
Our Services team has identified the root cause of this issue, and we will be deploying a fix at 17:30 today.
The deployment will require a restart of the service, so customers will be subject to downtime of up to 60 seconds.
This maintenance was rolled out again and was completed successfully.
Unfortunately, the update this evening was not fully successful, so we have rolled back any changes that had been deployed.
Our Services team will continue to investigate the issue, and we will announce any further updates to combat the Google redirection issue in due course.

We do not expect any downtime for SurfProtect customers during this maintenance window.
One of our core link providers has advised that they need to carry out some emergency maintenance between our London and Worthing exchanges.

On Monday, 23rd February at 8 pm, we will be upgrading a core router in our Manchester Data Centre. Most of our Traffic will automatically re-route via an alternate path, but there are multiple directly connected NNIs that, regardless of geographical location, will be subject to downtime during the change window. Likely one incidence of about 15 minutes. If you require any assistance after this maintenance, please contact our Helpdesk on 03451451234, and our team will be happy to help.
We will be carrying out essential maintenance during the half-term period, w/c 16/02/26. The work is being carried out to apply the latest security releases. The work is being carried out during the half-term to limit the impact it will have on your school(s). During the maintenance window, we will be required to reboot each server numerous times, so all customers will see an outage on at least one of the five days. We apologise for any inconvenience this will cause you, but appreciate your understanding as we work to ensure the SurfProtect platform remains stable and secure.
Following a monitoring period, we are happy that full power has been restored and Northern PowerGrid has closed the outage. We will now close our Status, but if you are in the Halifax area and are still experiencing issues, please call our Helpdesk on 0345 145 1234, who will be happy to investigate.
From our monitoring, we have seen power restored to our POP. We will keep the status open until Northern PowerGrid closes down the outage on their side.
Northern PowerGrid has identified the cause of the power outage and is working to resolve this as quickly as possible. We will update this status as soon as there is any more information.
We are aware of a power outage in Halifax that is affecting our Halifax POP data centre. Our UPS's are keeping everything operational at the moment, but we expect to lose full power within the next 15 minutes due to the prolonged power outage. Details of the power outage can be found on the Northern PowerGrid status page using the following incident reference - INCD-735859-A https://www.northernpowergrid.com/power-cuts-map
