    We are based in Enfield, North London and supplied by LGFL.

    We have had no internet access since 8:30. We have been unable to contact LGFL, but have spoken to AtomWide who say there was a power cut last night which affected the servers.

    At the time of speaking to them they had no ETA on when it will be up and running again.

    thats flakey here also - I'm going though our own internal proxy which fwd's to proxy1.equinoxsolutions.com and it's more stable than not going though the internal proxy

    Got this in e-mail.

    For any who are not already aware, there was a major power failure at the Earls Court LGfL Network Core Location at 0040 hours this morning, owing to the failure of a local power supply substation. Power was supplied by backup systems for several hours until the resource failed, at which point systems failed leading to loss of LGfL service to sites in a number of areas including :
    Barnet
    Bexley
    Bromley
    Camden
    Croydon.

    Synetrix T2S contacts in these local authorities will have been advised directly by Synetrix of service interruption early this morning.

    My understanding, from Synetrix, is that backup power was restored at approx 8.30am allowing the core router and firewall to begin to reinitialise, and such other systems as possible to be re-started although service would have been significantly degraded.

    Repairs at the electricity substation allowed for the restoration of full power at approx 1.30pm and the remaining system are expected to be fully restored within the next hour.

    Failure of one of our central core locations is thankfully a rare occurrence but nevertheless has a substantial impact on service, for which we apologise.


    Kind regards
    Brian

    Everything has been normal now since about 4pm yesterday. They do have a hardware failure in a system that we don't use, but other than that from this school's point of view all is well now.

    Durrant.

    I should also add that despite being a T2S contact I received no notification whatsoever.
