Rootes J–L Network Issue
Network team have identified a loss of network connectivity across Rootes Blocks J–L.
It appears that the main fibre was accidentally cut during nearby works (Whitefields project) around 10:30, with no alternative route currently available.
The team are working on a fix, but this is going to take time due to the nature of the fault - and it could easily take up to 18:00 tonight.
For those affected, alternative options for taking online exams can be found here - On-campus Study Spaces for Online Exams
We would otherwise advise using the workareas on campus in the meantime - Open Access Workarea Locations
