We are experiencing a fibre outage between Equinix LD8, London and Iron Mountain AMS1, Amsterdam. Traffic was automatically re-routed due to our redundant dark fibre network and no downtime should have occurred.
You will see an increased latency during this time from London to Amsterdam as traffic is now routing through Paris.
This status alert is primarily to notify users that there is now an active at-risk period until the fibre span has been fully repaired and brought back online.
Please contact us via support tickets if you have any further questions.
- Resolved
- Our supplier has confirmed the submarine cable has now been repaired. We are seeing traffic flow via this wave now. This is now resolved.
