Hi there. Nope, the change was completed at 4am. I do see your session is up since 3:26am though, but not seeing much traffic. Can you do a reboot of the router + ONT to see if anything changes?
 
Hi. Any issues on Openserve in Centurion? Lost connection just after 8 this morning.

Looks like it just came back up.

Hi there, thanks for reaching out. Our support team will be in touch accordingly. I do see your link dropped a about 3 times in the last 3 hours, so there may be a fault on your link.

It was an issue with unbound. Ran updates earlier in the day but something went awry.

libunbound was at libunbound-1.25.2-r1 and unbound-daemon unbound-daemon-1.25.1-r1 so there was a version mismatch.

Was not an issue with the line.
