Our engineers picked up some issues on one of the London peering links and have rerouted traffic temporarily while they address the issue. It should settle down again shortly, please let me know if you are still having problems.

That's what I get.
My voip phone reconnected to the UK, my vpn to my office is working fine (it's a local connection though). But WoW still states I have no internet connectivity. :< Was hoping to get some farming done..
Just received some feedback now Gordon, it seems the problem is a bit more serious than the original assessment. Our engineers are attending to this urgently and notices are posted. We will update you as soon as we have an ETR.

We seem to be back to normal now via alternate routing. I have not cleared the outage notice yet as engineers have not officially cleared the fault. Our networks notices page was updated just before 11h00 Gordon so not sure why you couldn't see it, perhaps you had the page cached?
Not showing for me either, and this is the first time today I am visiting the page. Here's what it looked like at 12:40. All the notices are area-specific.
