As part of the continuous improvement of our Major Incident process, we will be launching a new CityFibre Network Status page. From 2nd April 2021 all Major Incident notifications and updates will be posted here –
Network Status Page
This will replace our current Entanet NOC page for Major Incidents ONLY. All Change Management activities, such as planned maintenance will continue to be updated on the
NOC
site.
Should a Major Incident occur, all communications throughout the incident will be posted here –
Network Status Page
Please ensure you visit the new site from 2nd April 2021 to subscribe to receive any communications related to Major Incidents.
We will continue to monitor and improve the functionality of the status page on an ongoing basis.

Posted: Thursday, March 25th, 2021 at 12:33 by Adam Heath
Friday 26th March 2021 00:01 – Friday 26th March 2021 03:00
Rescheduled from original window of Thursday 25th March 2021 00:01 – Thursday 25th March 2021 03:00
After recently replacing the above router on Tuesday 23rd February 2021 we have identified a need to reload the new equipment as we have an issue with an onboard 10gb port. The reload was recommended after raising a TAC case with hardware vendor support.
The work will take place during the above window and will effect all users connected to PB1244. We do not anticipate downtime for the entire window. We apologise for the inconvenience these planned works will cause and we have exhausted all other possibilities before taking this customer impacting action.

Major Incident Raised: 23/03/2021 14:25
Major Incident Leader: Ryan Berrisford
Service (product) Type: On-net Ethernet, Off-net Ethernet and FTTC services
Service(s) Impacted: Multiple
Customer Impact: Total loss of services for on-net Ethernet, Off-net Ethernet and FTTC services
Description: A portion of on-net and off-net Ethernet customers, as well as FTTH customers, are experiencing a total loss of service.
Team(s) Investigating: Network Operations Centre, Architecture and Engineering
Update 4 –: After further optimisation of the network we are seeing restoration to the affected customers.
As there is still an open incident on the Leeds to Sheffield link, services should be considered at risk until the link has been brought back into service. We will continue to update this incident until that risk has been fully mitigated.
If any customers are still experiencing an issue we ask them to power-cycle their equipment before contacting the Technical Service Centre.
