A brief interruption to internet connectivity is expected between 14/07/2026 22:00 and 22:00:30, during which traffic will automatically fail over to a redundant link while routing reconverges.

All services are designed with redundancy, and connectivity will be restored automatically once the upgrade activity is complete.
