Hi All,

Due to heat in Perth we have lost a number of services and precautionary shut others down.

Customer will notice impact to the following services:

- iiNet Toolbox and Westnet MyAccount [RESTORED 7:00PM WST]
- Westnet Email [RESTORED 7:45PM WST]
- Westnet Hosted Websites [RESTORED 9:00PM WST]
- iiNet hosted email [RESTORED 7:45PM WST]
- iiNet/Westnet/Adam/Netspace Webmail [RESTORED 7:00PM WST]
- Customers may be unable to re-authenticate after disconnecting from the internet [RESTORED 8:00PM WST]

A number of internal tools are also affected, which will impact our ability to respond to certain customer enquiries.

Update 6pm WST: Due to issues with staff access, some contact centre queues have been closed. Affected queues will be reopened once the incident has been resolved.

Update 8pm WST: Most services have been restored, Engineers are continuing to review all services impacted by the incident. Customers that were off-line are recommended to perform a modem power-cycle to get back on-line.

Thanks,

One of the VPS systems I manage dropped off shortly before this post too.

Something happened which is affecting multiple services.

Hi Guys,

The server that supports the virtual hold system looks to have rebooted – queue is still working but your call may have moved from virtual hold to normal

@Frey also seeing issues across the hosted email platform inc. Westnet mail

Our monitoring systems at work are starting to pick-up intermittent issues with Domain Hosting as well. Our DNS records are not resolving one minute, and then start resolving again the next.

My iiNet ADSL2+ has been down this afternoon too. I'm on the Grose Vale NSW exchange, which is a Telstra exchange. I get ADSL sync, but the connection fails when it rejects my username and password.

Thought I'd hop onto the net via my Telstra mobile, and I can't get the iiNet website. It popped up once after taking forever to load, but now it just instantly fails. All other websites seem fine though.

I think whatever was shutdown as a precaution might have borked the authentication process for ADSL customers, or at least this is how it seems from here. Any information regarding this?

Hehe I assumed iiNet had a site for their corporate users – but he obviously meant the public facing www which they call their corporate site :)

Makes sense.

I dont care about the www site anyway, more interested in why no authentication / authentication timing out :).
