Manchester - MANOC 4 Manchester Area Outage

We are investigating a loss of service to customers in the Manchester area

  • The third-party investigation has identified the root cause as a fault on a single network edge device. While some services have already been restored, a subset of services remains affected. Engineers are continuing work to restore the remaining services, and the equipment vendor has been engaged to provide additional support and a full analysis.

  • Our upstream provider has advised that services should now be restored. However, we are not yet seeing full restoration across our network. We are actively escalating this with the provider and continuing to monitor connectivity closely. Further updates will follow as soon as we have more information.

  • The fibre provider has begun to see some service restoration since the initial incident report. However, not all services are yet restored. Their engineers are still investigating the root cause of this incident. Further updates are expected in 20 minutes.

  • A national fibre provider is experiencing a major incident that is affecting our services to areas of Manchester and Liverpool. We are awaiting their next update.
