Rapidswitch / Iomart Maidenhead Issues
We are seeing high latency to all of our kit (racks/colo) and their support desk at the moment. Looks like a local router issue from a traceroute.
Appologies to all of our clients, this couldn't have come at a worse time due to our own switching issues yesterday. Updates will be given on our blog as usual.

I'm seeing around 30% packet loss to our rack in their Leicester datacentre also.

40-50% packet loss here hopefully it will get sorted quickly. Problems are pretty rare with RS though to be fair

Not seeing any packet loss here, just a very, very slow connection. Hope this gets resolved soon!

They really need a simple offsite status page for things like this.
From what I can see it's due to an issue with iomart's router at LINX (London Internet Exchange), as LINX's own public graphs all look normal.

Their not down. Looks like a linx problem but linx graphs seem to look ok. Some people can access and some can't so must be some sort of external problem.

We apologise for the connectivity interruption to your service.
Our engineers have identified the cause as a massive DDOS attack against a customer on our network.
We have re-routed traffic and services should be resuming back to normal now.

Email from rapidswitch:
Earlier this evening we started to experience intermittent connectivity issues with segments of our network. Our core networking team identified the issue as a very significant, distributed denial of service attack that was saturating some of our upstream providers, with some customers experiencing drops in connectivity .
The traffic has been identified and re-routed, with normal service being restored as quickly as possible.
The traffic will be intensely monitored throughout the night to ensure normal service continues and we will provide further updates as necessary. We do apologise for any inconvenience. Please be assured we are committed to preventing this attack from causing any further problems with your service.
Regards,
The RapidSwitch Team

I have to admit since their last major problem they have done well. Have 5 boxes with them and connectivity has been top notch. There sales guys done me a good deal when I bought more servers and customer support has been good.
I think they have dealt with things quite quickly today. Things do happen.
The key is definitely don't put all your eggs in one basket.
