We are aware of a major issue affecting BT's telephone and broadband network nationwide and we have re-routed all traffic away from BT.

Orbtalk engineers are still investigating connectivity issues affecting the sipgw3 gateway. This appears to be a widespread connectivity issue affecting multiple data centres. Regular updates will be posted at support.orbtalk.co.uk. Any customers with open tickets will receive regular updates via the ticket.

Orbtalk apologise for the impact to our customers' service today.

We have been made aware of a problem affecting trunks on the sipgw3 gateway. This will be causing some trunks to deregister and loss of inbound and outbound service. Our systems engineers are currently looking into this issue as a priority and are working to resolve it as soon as possible.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.

We would like to thank you for your business over the past year, we really appreciate it!

The past 12 months has been an exciting time for Orbtalk and we have been working hard to add additional features and improve customer experience with all of our products. This year we have launched our new website and we are currently working on a new platform for our Hosted PBX that should greatly increase the speed of provisioning for new customers and add lots of new features.
