We have detected a fibre fault on our UK backbone network between our POP sites in Slough and London Docklands areas. No services are currently affected as the network resilience takes care of this situation as expected, however the network is at-risk (of further failure) until the fibre fault is repaired. The fibre provider has been engaged to investigate this and we will provide further information as soon as it becomes available.
