There was an interruption to our link to the Ontario Research and Innovation Optical Network (ORION) last night. This greatly reduced bandwidth as this carries the University's primary Internet service.

During the hours of 00:19-03:19 internet service was reduced to one third of its normal levels. Saturation on our diverse Internet service occurred. Users would have noticed slow response time and disconnections when trying to reach external resources.

ITServices is working with ORION to determine the cause and prevent any further outages.
