Major Maintenance Work Completed

We normally use this area to note any planned maintenance or issues that come up. Just like any road in the real world, those orange cones appear when there is maintenance or repairs to be done. In the online world the work is done out of hours as much as possible. Breaks are kept to a minimum as services are changed.

Without getting too tech, there has been some major work going on over the past few months. More recently over the past few weekends the work has been rolled out in stages. It's no easy task, just try fixing a car while driving it at the same time. That will give you an idea of the what is involved.

The great news is the work is complete. The network is faster. It has more capacity. It is 'crisper' in performance overall.

Big Change #1 - Greater Capacity = Greater Speed

A number of internal connections (think of them as pipes) were boosted ten-fold in raw speed. The real effect is in fact greater as there is less time waiting for traffic to go through.

Big Change #2 - Reworked Access Online

The way your end connection gets from your place to us has been completely reengineered and rebuilt. In some cases overall speeds are improved. In others it is the 'crisper' aspect we touched on before. Remember for UFB like all providers it is built on a shared fibre infrastructure.

 

This work took a lot of planning followed by careful implementation. It is another stage completed and gives existing and future customers a network with great capacity.
