We've had some problems through the North end of the Skyenet network through this weekend and the first part of this week. It's been usually hard to diagnose, but we think the problem is on a router just outside of our network, at our upstream providers, HUBS. I'm off Skippering a Clyde Puffer on the Cally Canal, and have been liaising with Mar De Vries, who also operates HUBS, for on-the-ground Skyenet support as well as help looking at this from HUBS end. The device has been replaced, so hopefully we should see an improvement. There are also potentially capacity constraints on HUBS' network which are affecting us, but we're still to fully investigate that. Thanks to Mark and HUBS for the help with this!

Bit of a strange one, but apparently the Hall in Tarskavaig is not on the same electric supply as the rest of Tarskavaig, and was affected bye the scheduled SSEN outage in Tokavaig today. That meant that everyone on Skyenet in Tarskavaig was offline. It's unfortunate, I certainly didn't know this as previous power cuts haven't been noticed (as everyone was without power, not just the Hall).
I'm not sure how likely this is to happen again, perhaps we need battery backup at the Hall in the seemingly unlikely event this happens again.. ... See MoreSee Less

UPDATE: ALL WORKING AGAIN NOW. Hopefully you all had a nice time outside and that didn't cause you too much disruption. We do need to upgrade these core routers and might as well do it on a nice sunny day!
It looks like the upgrades this morning to the Beinn Mhialairigh mast have affected all customers NOT connected to that mast, i.e. those connected to Mallaig High School. We're working on the solution... ... See MoreSee Less
