One of Faelix's upstream transit providers has announced an emergency maintenance window to migrate customers onto a new router in Manchester. This should address problems that the current router has been having for several weeks now. We will be taking our BGP sessions to that provider down in advance of their maintenance, and restoring them only once we have heard from their network operations team that their maintenance is complete.
