happened it started at 2am again, but I shut our port down and waited till
morning to see if PIPE resolved it but they hadn’t, so I called up 5
hours later and someone answered and had NO idea it was happening, he placed me
on hold, had a look and then said to me that they can see an issue. Within
minutes the issue was fixed. I’m not trying to cause a stir here, but the
process / escalation of your monitoring really needs to be looked at. As many
have said this is the 5<sup>th</sup> or 6<sup>th</sup> time it has happened,
and EVERYTIME I have called your NOC and they have not been aware of the issue.
As stated above, I am still yet to receive a response from my open ticket as to
the issue.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
