I was in irc just after the talktalk situation exploded as I was booted from a online game.

As I was told in the channel, it was initially a packetloss problem on some BT lines, but aaisp couldnt figure out the cause so they started rebooting stuff, they expected TT lines to reconnect after they were booted but then many failed to reconnect and it then exploded into a TTB problem as well.  Its at that point when my line went down.

I am a BTW user not TTB. It was nasty.

A downside of having all lines connecting to the same provider, and why there is a place for the technology I work with as an overlay taking in multiple circuits.

If I could I would be using entirely different networks for my two services but it is what it is.

I hope that AA will let us know what the story was.

I hope that AA will let us know what the story was.

Yes, indeed. I'm sure we could all learn from it.

Another problem last night, again I see I wasnt the only one based on the blip graph, I had no service until I manually reinitialised about 20 minutes ago which made the outage 8 hours for me.

I have also had another couple of PPP outages (again during night) which AAISP couldnt provide an explanation for which I assume was maybe TTB maintenance work.  So they are tallying up, I am hoping they get back to how they were as before the last month or so my service was fine.

Its logged on the status page, info here.

The initial cause of this outage was planned work on our TalkTalk interconnect in our Telehouse datacentre by TalkTalk. This would normally be OK, except that our second interconnect in a different datacentre, Equinix, was taken out of service by ourselves last week due to a separate incident: https://aastatus.net/37182 (aggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)

Oh dear.  The ongoing saga also sounds like a huge cock-up by Talk Talk.

I have since chatted to Andrew over IRC, it was unfortunate as can see on the status page, this wouldnt have happened if the issue last week didnt make them disable the second interconnect (there would have been I expect just a 1 minute drop and reconnect instead), but I gave him some info on my setup to help them work out why some people didnt connect back properly.

I have a 20 minute outage to look forward to later this month as well as there is planned work listed for TT covering my exchange.  Good to know this in advance.

Do I take it from https://aastatus.net/37312 that AA knows that there is a lot more to this than the TalkTalk thing though?

I am under the impression that the listed work is related to the earlier, not the latest, outage. But then A&A will never make a simple statement, preferring to quote links to other events to add to the overall, general, confusion. (Why make a simple statement when one can make it confusingly complicated?)
