We will continue to monitor the network closely throughout the process and will provide updates if any unexpected issues arise.

• Activity Details:

Please be informed that our service provider will be conducting a fiber optical cable replacement that hosts our circuit.

During the maintenance window, a latency increase on the IPLC is expected. However, due to the way our network is setup, traffic should be automatically failover to the VPN connection that will result to a latency increase on VPC/RDP’s.

Hi Team,

We would like to inform you that one of our service providers will be performing a service migration to a new platform, along with a software upgrade of their network devices. This initiative aims to enhance network security, improve performance, and ensure overall system reliability.

During the maintenance window, a maximum of two (2) hours of interruption is expected. However, due to the configuration of our network having backup circuits, we expect only a partial impact on internet and network connectivity as we have automatic failovers in place.

During the failover process, you may experience brief disruptions on any of the following below:

  • Choppy or Dropped VoIP Calls – Poor audio quality, delays, or dropped calls on platforms like Zoom, Teams, or Skype.
  • Delayed Emails & Messages – Slower delivery of emails (Outlook, Gmail) and messages in chat apps like Slack and Teams.
  • Latency Issues – Delays in response times, particularly for real-time applications.
  • Remote Desktop (RDP) Disruptions – Lag, session timeouts, or disconnections when accessing remote systems.

• Service Impact: Partial Internet and Network Connectivity Interruption
