Telehouse - a.k.a. the London Internet Exchange.

Search Google Groups - the place is infamous.  There's no need for any
external activity,Telehouse is quite capable of causing disruption and
mayhem to the Internet using only its internal resources.

E.g.:

The following statement has been issued by Telehouse

  "Following a routine generator test within Telehouse North on Sunday 24
September 2006, a momentary interruption to critical power services
occurred. At 12.46pm, the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system 'A'
initiated an out of synchronisation transfer to internal bypass. A number
of customers in the south side of the building are known to have been
affected.
  Upon receipt of the alarm, the UPS system 'A' was checked and immediately
returned to normal operation from the bypass condition. Service for all
affected customers was resumed as soon as possible although some delay will
have occurred due to the need to reset certain equipment. Building checks
commenced and local alarms and equipment were reset accordingly. Following
the incident, Telehouse's Service Desk has provided additional support to
affected customers to ensure that all services are resumed as quickly as
possible.

Telehouse Europe will continue to investigate the cause of the UPS system
error with the specialist manufacturer's maintenance team. Once the
investigation is complete, Telehouse Europe will provide a full report to
customers detailing the technical team's findings."

GO OBL!
