Unite House Outage
DNSChanger virus back again (previous) :: Freewire TV Maintenance - 2009-04-01 - 11:00-15:00 (next)
The network at Unite House went down today at 16:20.
From the pattern of devices which are down it looks to us like it might be due to a power failure in the area. Unfortunately as yet we haven't managed to get hold of anyone on site who can confirm this, although we are phoning everyone we can think of!
Update: 16:40
It would seem that the power has been cut due to a fire in the building. We don't have much in the way of information yet relating to the scale of the fire, the extent of the damage caused, or if anyone has been injured.
We don't know when students are likely to be allowed back in the building, or if the network will be available when they are.
Update: 18:52
According to the BBC, no one is reported missing or injured, which is good news. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bristol/7949078.stm
We will investigate the networking situation fully tomorrow.
Update: 20:52 by Mark
All network devices appear to be back up at about 20:20. We will still be investigating this tomorrow.
