Connect.com router failure. All Connect.com traffic in Sydney passes through this router. The effect was dramatic. All web traffic including web sites and electronic mail passing through Connect.com stopped. TECH 2U stored outbound email until the service was restored.

01/12/2000 30 Minutes POP3 mail unavailable for thirty minutes mid morning due to full disk partition. Reallocated files to clear space as temporary solution.
01/11/2000 'til 25/11/00 Internet outages caused by severe disruption to the Internet in general outside of the TECH 2U network. Including:

1. Router failure at satellite download station in Sydney.
2. Router failure at terrestrial linkage point in Sydney.
3. Telstra international cable cut near Singapore - international Telstra links down by 64%.

Clients will experience slow Internet response when surfing web pages. This is beyond the TECH 2U network and hence beyond our control.
More details will be added to this notice as they come to hand. TECH 2U has temporarily re-routed Internet links via Melbourne to maintain at least half capacity. Full Internet speed should return as soon as cables are repaired.

Telstra are unable at this stage to advise of the expected repair date as the repair of this fault is the responsibility of a foreign telecommunications carrier.
