Topic: Easynet

Easynet has been suffering from intermittent email problems for  the last nine days or so and has still not solved the issue.

According to Easynet they are sorry for the delays and are trying to fix the problem.

As Easynet provide services for many business customers these must be hoping it's fixed sooner rather than later.

Easynet have suffered a large and embarrassing robbery, but has been trying it's best to keep things hush hush.

On Monday two crafty crooks drove up to Easynet's HQ and used (obviously stolen) swipe cards to get inside, then the proceeded to fill up the van with goodies, some reports saying it was worth up to £6 million, which is a lot of kit!

To make matters worse they were watched by two security guards, one on CCTV and the other patrolling, but as they had swipe cards they thought they had a good reason to be filling a van with network kit.

This is where it gets even stranger, according to El Reg the ISP was telling customers there was a power failure which was causing network problems, although a power cut doesn't usually make things vanish. But it was telling El reg that "Easynet is working closely with the police on an investigation following an incident earlier this week." although the police have no records of Easynet contacting them.

A letter which Easynet sent to customers is here, but how they explain it to their insurance company should be fun to listen to.
