I'm told an upstream provider in the US is undertaking some maintenance tonight and traffic may be congested within a potential four hour window.

Possibly related to their data breach?

No, I don't think so, it's a network thing.

Hurricane Electric planned maintenance, 18th around 10pm NZT (9am UTC) start time for up to 4 hours. During NZ peak time which isn't great. If it doesn't go ahead then there were 2 backup outage windows for 19th and 20th. I'll update this post when I see the planned outage.

Well I guess that was always a risk with capacity tightly coupled to the non-redundant Hawaiki cable.

I think it's been established that it wasn't their data breach, but rather them notifying their customers who had had their accounts accessed due to using known compromised username password combinations.

I wonder if this is why Orcon has been so utterly dreadful tonight...

I didn't see any drops in traffic related to the HE planned notification for last night. I'll check again tonight/tomorrow.

 

The only outage I can see is related to 2degrees planned work from 1am to 1.30am this morning (19/03). Where Auckland broadband subscribers on 2 specific Chorus handovers would have experienced an outage due to physical fibre work in the Forest Hill Exchange.

Is it possible to get these into the 2degrees maintenance page? See the other one was there, but think I was impacted by this. Do a lot of work for the UK so early hours NZ time. Doesn't happen often enough to get a second connection, but would like to know ahead of time so I don't plan meetings for these times.

EDIT: Also be nice if I could subscribe by email.

@Andysh Sounds like you want a managed service from 2degrees

Not a managed service. I received email notifications from Quic a couple of weeks before Chorus work that would affect my connection. 

 

Just good service.

Is this outage repeating every 7 days? 18th, 25th, and just now on the 2nd?
