SardisTEL is aware of an issue affecting both our phone numbers, and some of our customers phone service.

SardisTEL uses Telnyx as our VoIP trunk and DID wholesale provider. At this time Telnyx is under a DDOS attack, and this is causing intermittent telephone outages for both Voice and SMS/MMS messaging. This is also affecting SMS notifications from our helpdesk.

Due to this, all SardisTEL phone systems are providing a busy signal, and we are unable to communicate by phone until Telnyx resolves this DDOS attack.

For more information, please see Telnyx status at: https://status.telnyx.com/

 

Attention SardisTEL customers,

Some customers with older v2, v3 and v4 modems will have issues connecting to the Internet starting October 1st 2021. This is caused by changed AT&T is making to it’s core network and tower equipment, as they phase out the AT&T 3G network. This was expected to happen in February 2022, as you can see in this information listed on AT&T’s website. However, without any advanced notice AT&T chose to start this process early, and without pushing firmware to all affected devices to ensure they would connect properly to LTE only sites.

As a result of their failure to properly update all devices, approximately 1,886 SardisTEL customers have found themselves without internet. If you are affected by this, and did not get the emergency notification we sent out, please see the following page for more information, and to get your equipment repaired, so you can get back online

If your modem is 100% offline, and a reboot does not resolve the issue, please go to: https://www.sardistel.com/3g

We are sorry for the inconvenience, and we were blind-sighted by AT&T’s failure to follow their own timeline and procedures.

Sardis Telecom is in the process of upgrading some core network equipment. This may cause some small periods of connectivity loss for North Alabama customers. Upgrades will be performed 5/21/2021 – 5/29/2021

Customers may notice their public IP’s change a few times, as traffic is re-routed over new network paths. Customers with Static IP’s may see longer outages as connections and BGP is restored to new core routers.

Our upgrades are to improve capacity, reduce latency, improve uptime and will allow us to increase customer speeds in the near future. Please keep an eye out on our announcements page, and your email for further information on increased speeds, and new service options coming soon.

Our network now has direct connections with 14 transit providers, and 141 partner networks including Google, and Microsoft Azure networks. We have also installed network wide DDOS filtering. We have increased our core network from 10Gbps ports, to 40Gbps ports to allow for current and future growth.

We look forward to improving our services, for you, our customers.
