I wrote a while ago about the power (or lack of it) that certain parts of the UK seem to be suffering from. Last Thursday, users of Clara.net, PlusNet and many other ISP sited at Telehouse Europe hosting site in Docklands experienced a major power outage. A major cable apparently burnt out!
Some users were offline from 8am till the middle of the afternoon. Telehouse have not said what caused the cable to burn out, but apparently a full investigation in under way!
Is this start of things to come as more and more high-energy users are concentrated in one place (Docklands) without sufficient infrastructure to support them? I’m not with either Clara.net or PlusNet, but I wonder if my ISP is hosted at the Telehouse site? I’ll have to find out!
