There was a network problem affecting the student centre and as a knock on effect other parts of the Colchester campus.
This started at around 4.30pm until 6pm on Wednesday 9th December.
The problem was affecting other areas as the issue was causing the routers to work very hard so you would notice the network slowing down or becoming unresponsive.
The root cause was identified then removed from the network and connectivity was restored to the remaining parts of the SSC around 6pm.
