 Hi,
 
 Not sure if this is the best place to advertise this sort of thing,
 however:  We've got a contract ending in Telecity Reynolds in
 Manchester and have 4 leftover 48U 1000x750mm APC racks.  They're
 excellent but built like tanks (on casters but weigh well over 100kg
 iirc).  If anyone wants or knows anyone who wants to (somehow) collect
 them in the week starting 1st December, then they're free to a good home.
 
 Cheers,

and i'm sure there's a few others out there...  (including aql - but we only 
sell direct as janet 3g - https://www.aql.com/janet3g/ to schools, colleges, 
universities etc).

all the best,

 This is a bit of an unusual request, and for that I apologise, but I am 
 hoping someone can help me…
  
 I am responsible for a building owned by our local Scouts and Guides in 
 Bedfordshire, I would like to provide basic internet connectivity for leaders 
 to manage membership, programs etc (its all online these days) and to connect 
 to the heating control system.  A phone line would need poles so is out of 
 the question.
  
 Having bought the heating controller, I now find I need static IP, and that 
 costs a bit more than standard 3G and is over budget.
  
 I am looking for a static IP 3G SIM and Wifi 3G Router, and some data 
 allowance.  Being scouts they are penniless as usual, any suggestions?
  
 Looking forward to taking a beer with everyone in Manchester.
  
 Thanks

 If you get a link from AS1273 in slough via their Bracknell access node then 
 it's completely London proof, from backhaul, submarine system (Apollo) and 
 network operations point of view. When you look at major network events like 
 the tsunamis in the Far East etc the there are a common set of providers that 
 cope well, 1273 is one of them as is TATA it's because they have high level 
 of control across the whole stack of the network. AS1273 also had a root name 
 server connected directly in Germany, not sure if it's still there but I 
 suspect so. 
 
 Infact one of the most London proof network links is the AS1273 connectivity 
 into the TUC used for LINX meetings, it's fibre all the way to Bracknell (or 
 was when I put it in)
 
 IXmanchester and IXLeeds will be useful if they have root name servers at 
 them, otherwise will be irrelevant - don't think either of them have this 
 currently. 
 
 

There should be L-Root at IXLeeds since 2012.

 We have Cogent in at Everest as part of our house-transit mix. It does indeed 
 go out via Slough, at LD4/LD5. They have improved immeasurably over the last 
 few years IMO.
  

+1 - Cogent should be London proof and we've had a good experience over the

 there was the AQL workshop back in 2011, so hopefully people can remember

 Indeed, we have boxes that do a good job in that area and some unique 
 features that help massively with fault tracking. Happy to discuss in more 
 detail, but I won't be at this UKNOF.
 

Just an FYI to everyone - We've noticed that our bill is somewhere around £5k 
for the data from past UKNOF sims..   So - whilst in the past we could let it 
slide under the radar as a freebie - it's turning into an expensive freebie - 
so we're starting to enforce the limits on these.  If you get cut off and want 
to convert it to pay-as-you-use, please drop Mundia a line -- 
mundia.mi...@uk.aql.com and he'll get you looked after.

sorry folks -no such thing as free forever unlimited all you can eat etc etc 
etc.. :)   There'll be more sims at the next UKNOF though, so you can just keep 
attending and then swap your sim out !
