Hello!
We are very pleased to inform you that we are taking the necessary steps to completely renovate our infrastructure in the United Kingdom.
The current servers will be dismissed and replaced by six 10 Gbit/s servers with newer and much more powerful hardware. Each 10 Gbit/s server will be connected to a full duplex 10 Gbit/s dedicated line and port. Each new server replaces 2.5 current 1 Gbit/s servers in order to increase remarkably the available bandwidth per connected client.
At the end of the upgrade, UK will offer a theoretical peak of 60 Gbit/s (full duplex) instead of the current 15 Gbit/s, through adequately powerful servers.
According to our plan, three servers will be located in London and three in Manchester. The new servers will start operations around 19-22 February 2026. Current 1 Gbit/s servers will cease operations on the night between 28 February and 01 March (UTC). Any plan changes and/or delays will be communicated promptly.
UPDATE 2026-02-24: the servers are almost ready and will be available not later than 2026-02-25 (UTC). Because of the unforeseen delay, we are considering to extend the current 1 Gbit/s UK servers operations up to the end of March 2026.
UPDATE 2026-02-25: all the new servers are operational and the old servers will be decommissioned on 2026-02-28 (UTC).
Kind regards & datalove
