<title><![CDATA[Planned Traffic Management Platform Maintenance - 1st February 10.00pm-2nd February 8.00am]]></title>
<link>http://usertools.plus.net/status/archive/1328107158.htm</link>
<description><![CDATA[When's this work happening?<br />
From tonight at 10.00pm until 8.00am tomorrow, 2nd February.<br />
<br />
What does it affect?<br />
Broadband traffic prioritisation.<br />
<br />
How long will it take?<br />
About ten hours.<br />
<br />
What does the work involve?<br />
We're carrying out some preliminary work in preparation for upgrades to our Traffic Management Platform .<br />
<br />
Am I likely to notice the work?<br />
Yes, you'll not be able to access our website between 1.00am-3.30am and holding pages will be in place. Our support staff will also have limited access to customers' account details during this time.<br />
Any data you download/upoad during the maintenance window may not be attributed to your monthly usage figures. If you're unfortunate enough to be establishing a new connection to the Internet when we reload the traffic management switches then you might be assigned our default traffic management profile. When this happens it tends to result in slower speeds compared to what you may be used to.<br />
<br />
Is there anything else I need to know?<br />
If you suspect you have been assigned a default traffic management profile then this can easily be rectified by disconnecting and reconnecting once the maintenance is complete.<br />
<br />
Kind Regards,<br />
<br />
