As part of our planed network migration to Telehouse North and our own facility. We are now ready to migrate existing Ethernet fibre and EFM services from Goswell Road to Telehouse.
This work is planned to take place from 20:00 tomorrow night and is expected to take around 1 hour to complete with each service seeing around 5 minutes of downtime while VLANs are moved around the network to there new home.
Customers with backup ADSL or FTTC are unlikely to notice the drop as services will automatically re-route for the duration. Customers that have dual leased lines are also unlikely to notice a service drop as the move is being done in groups, so no 2 services are in the same migration window.
Updates to be posted on the night. Existing test services have been transferred so we do not expect any problems.
