The following information has now been provided by our DC - Information is below:

"On July 7, 2024, at 1:10 a.m., there was a disruption in our internet connection due to an interruption in the dark fiber connection to the Interxion node. We managed to restore connectivity via a replacement connection, and all systems are now accessible again. A ticket has been created at Interxion to expedite the restoration of our main fiber optic cable and to investigate the cause of the incident to prevent future occurrences.

The disruption was caused by our contractual partner mistakenly deactivating an active dark fiber, believing it was an inactive cable from a former customer. This dark fiber had been in continuous operation for almost 15 years. The error was unforeseen and unusual, making it difficult to identify immediately.

Interxion has since restored the main line to operation. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused."
