Just heard that there is a fire at the Great Westerford building in Newlands. AFAIK that is the site of CINX and a lot of ISPs have servers in the building in order to connect straight into CINX. Anybody noticed ny effect on internet connections in CT ?

CINX is at IS (Bree Street, CPT).
Basement where most of the DCs are is currently unaffected, but there are fears for flooding. Wireless microwave links between Great Westerford and IS (CINX) is showing some erratic latencies however, more than likely due to the smoke. AfricaINX CINX to GW links are definately not normal, but still operating.
