Scheduled Maintenance w/c 13/10/03
As part of the ongoing project to maintain and upgrade our cable network, there is a requirement to carry out work on components which may result in a loss of service for the duration of the work.

On the morning of Tuesday 14th October between midnight and 6am, the following work will take place:-

New ntl:Home broadband customers attempting to register for the service will be unable to complete registration during this time due to essential database maintenance.

Maintenance on our DNS platform may result in degraded dns performance during the maintenance window. This may result in slow access to web pages, email and other services utilising dns.

ntl:Home Broadband customers in the Ware, Southampton, Derby, Port Talbot, Newark, Huddersfield, Stockton, Eastwood and Luton may lose service for approximately 30 minutes.

On the morning of Tuesday the 14th, Wednesday 15th and Thursday the 16th October between midnight and 6am, ntl:Home Broadband customers nationwide may lose service briefly due to network optimisation and configuration changes.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience these planned works may cause.

:confused:

That was last night....or the early hours of this morning. It's a process that NTL do every week, if they need to re-balance upstreams, or re-segment the routers
