Absurd. Wind doesn't blow over underground cables.

Bad routing configuration or insufficient fallback capacity would be my guess. Neither coming as a surprise when it comes to VM.
Looks from various people's TBB graphs that many suffered massive latency and/or moderate packet loss but not a complete connectivity loss.

I've previously observed VM having a habit of bouncing traffic from the south and south-west of England up through Birmingham and/or Manchester en-route to London so it's no surprise you were affected.

Bit of a bump in the graph in Leeds around that time, but nothing major.

It was a fibre break affecting multiple ISP's. Move along.

Fibre break exacerbated by loss of a backbone router in Brentford. I guess some sites lost all their resilient paths and others lost a bunch of capacity due to the loss of part of the backbone ring between Cardiff and Birmingham along with some of the transport network in the same fibre bundle.

Yes - it affected them because they were using VM's fibre

my bad, I saw Wales and assumed it was the ghost which keeps hitting the west side. I have read the article and saw it was mainly the South.

Re: Has VM HQ been taken out by Putin?
I called Vlad and he said yes of course it was his side that took out VM in the South. He said he couldn't resist it because all the TBBs would turn red!

Re: Has VM HQ been taken out by Putin?
Superhub couldn't even download it's config during the outage so even if the rest of VM's core was up and there was an alternate path to the internet it seems the provisioning servers (tftp?) were reachable for some.
SH2 fell back to docsis2 mode, locked a single channel and then had network access denied in the operations status.
Infact I had to reboot it the morning to get it to wake up again.

Interesting. I had the same experience on the SH2 (VMDG485) during the outage. I could use the internet on DOCSIS 2 (not EuroDOCSIS) and the following morning had to reset the device.
Whereas the SH2ac recovered by itself.

Re: Has VM HQ been taken out by Putin?
Mine is the SH2ac, sorry I was being lazy.
It was however in modem only mode as I have it feeding a LRT224 at the moment (Over powerline  )
Actually manage to get the 152M out of it as well

Re: Has VM HQ been taken out by Putin?
We had a total failure of all BB services in here in Rossendale\Lancashire.
Eventually the TIVO started getting netflix etc back but the SH2 was still not getting any upstream.
Eventually (3 days later) its back on after an engineer came & changed the month old SH2 
So far it's not looking good being back on VM.
