Explanation for Unplanned Incident

Memset suffered two simultaneous faults on the fibre circuits used by their Dunsfold datacentre, completely severing all remote access to the servers at that datacentre. The faults affected their primary fibre circuit to London and a second circuit which terminates in Reading.  A BT Open Reach team was eventually dispatched to fix one of the faults and restore Dunsfold connectivity.
