<div>I believe there was scheduled maintenance at SY1 yesterday for the STS and UPS systems and I believe that the power was disrupted during that maintenance window.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is why it’s always good to have dual fed equipment and send notices during the scheduled maintenance windows.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We’ve never had any issues during the scheduled maintenance windows, but I guess that’s why they are classed as ‘hazardous’</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As for the POI redundancy, certainly something to think about. I don’t think consumers care where their internet comes from as long as it works. Look at the melt down yesterday with Facebook being offline! People called 000! Seriously?!</div>

<div>Do NBN offer POI redundancy yet, meaning they can switch AVCs to another POI?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've seen how angry numbers of 10s of 1000s of customers can get after an outage of a day or two. I expect within less than a week they'll have switched to another provider, which in an NBN world, because subs are connected to the same POI regardless of
the RSP, means a mobile broadband provider. If it is good enough and cheap enough, they won't come back.</div>

Hearing reports (and lost our cage) in SY1.<br>

Apparently nobody answering the phone at Equinix. Is it just me or have others seen it too?<br>
