When's this work happening?
Tomorrow morning, 4th February.

What does it affect?
Broadband traffic prioritisation.

How long will it take?
About an hour.

What does the work involve?
We will be making some changes to correct the classification of certain traffic across the network. This includes additional ports for the games 'Demigod' and 'League of Legends' and some signatures for BitTorrent, 'Live for Speed' and 'Call of Duty 4'. Once these changes have been made we will be reloading all of our traffic management switches to realign the traffic flows.

Am I likely to notice the work?
You might do. If you're unfortunate enough to be establishing a new connection to the Internet when we reload the traffic management switches then you might be assigned our default management profile. When this happens it tends to result in slower speeds and poorer performance than normal.

Is there anything else I need to know?
If you suspect you have been assigned a default traffic management profile then this can easily be rectified by disconnecting and reconnecting once the maintenance is complete.

Kind Regards,
