As somebody who escaped #VirginMedia for #Brsk, I'm deeply unhappy about this news. Probably won't jump ship immediately but I anticipate rising prices, worse customer support, and more web filtering over the next few years.

I'm just hoping they don't go the whole hog and remove #IPv6 support which Virgin still doesn't have.

Then the next step will be my home server, which just has a single IPv6 address assigned to it by the #Brsk router.

The router provides a single #IPv6 /64 for the LAN, but I know there's a /56 or /48 routed to it. It might support Prefix Delegation, or I might have to look again at replacing the router...

@penguin42 Are you on #Brsk? Seeing a lot of people complaining about this right now, and I can't reach the #Debian wiki currently.

#brsk told me they were hacked today and the crims got our name, surname, email address, contact number and physical address. Numpties.

I signed up with brsk for broadband recently and I’ve been very happy with the service. Installation took half an hour and the service was up and running instantly. Speeds are great and the upload is the same as the download. Prices are great and the reason I signed up.

Looks like #Brsk is down in #Manchester and maybe further afield. Big spike at https://downdetector.co.uk/status/brsk/

Still, I've been with them a couple of years and this is the biggest hiccup I've seen. Plus it's Friday evening and time to go and touch grass.

Sign up for #Brsk broadband
Hand over mobile number
30 minutes later get a sales call telling me "Brsk are rolling out coverage in our area, would you be interested in broadband"

Nobheads.

(It's also nice to know that #Brsk gives an #IPv6 /48 to each customer, as is proper; the ISP-provided router just farms out a single /64 and I didn't know what was happening at the provider end)

Speaking of, I just noticed that #brsk have asked me to connect my laptop directly to the fibre ONT box, i.e. exposed directly to the Internet rather than behind the router.

It's to diagnose a potential problem with the router, but I would have hoped that they would have asked me to ensure that I had a host firewall enabled first...
