We are providing an update on the connectivity issue affecting the Actionstep system for some users on the Sky internet service provider, which began on 04/12/2025 at 2:30 pm GMT. Impacted users may continue to see a “Can’t reach this page” message when attempting to access the login page. At this stage, we still believe the issue is related to Sky’s network. We have seen cases where restarting the router and ensuring the web browser (such as Chrome) is fully up to date has resolved the problem for some customers.

We are continuing to work closely with affected customers to gather more information. If you are still seeing the “Can’t reach this page” message, we recommend contacting your internet service provider to check whether any recent changes have been made. As a temporary workaround, you can connect via your mobile phone’s Wi Fi hotspot to access the system.

The investigation has confirmed that this connectivity problem is not being caused by the Actionstep platform, but is instead linked to certain internet service providers, particularly Sky Broadband. We recommend contacting your ISP to check for any recent network or routing changes that could be affecting access to the Actionstep login page. You may also find more details in this Sky Community thread, which covers problems reaching sites hosted in the AWS ap-southeast-2 region: https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Broadband/Certain-web-addresses-fail-to-load/td-p/5159647. Our login page is hosted in ap-southeast-2, and these connections are currently timing out primarily for Sky Broadband customers. None of your Actionstep data is stored in the ap-southeast-2 region, only the login page is served from there. As soon as you click your system tile, you are redirected to the data centre where your system actually resides (for UK customers, this is the UK region). Your data has not moved and is not being stored outside your designated region. As a temporary workaround, you can use a mobile hotspot to access the login page and sign in, then switch back to your normal Wi‑Fi to continue working once you are logged in. If you need any further help, our support team is available via ticket at https://support.actionstep.com.

**Post-Incident Summary:** United Kingdom – External Connectivity Issue – December 4, 2025 **Incident Overview** On December 4, 2025, some customers in the United Kingdom – primarily those using Sky Broadband – experienced difficulty accessing the Actionstep login page. This login page \(also known as the Launchpad\) is hosted in the ap-southeast-2 region; however, no customer data for UK systems is stored or processed in this region. Once a user selects their system, they are directed to the appropriate UK/region-specific server where their data resides. Our investigation confirmed that this incident was caused entirely by a Sky ISP routing/connectivity issue preventing requests from reaching a wide variety of services hosted in ap-southeast-2. Actionstep also contacted AWS, who confirmed we were one of hundreds of services affected by the Sky outage. There was no issue with the Actionstep platform, AWS infrastructure, or our regional hosting. The issue began at approximately 2:30 pm GMT on December 4, 2025, and normal access was fully restored by December 9, 2025 **Impact** Customers in the UK using Sky Broadband were intermittently or completely unable to reach the Actionstep login page due to Sky’s network routing issue. Customers using other ISPs, or those switching to an alternative connection such as mobile data, were able to access Actionstep normally. At all times, the Actionstep platform itself remained operational. **Resolution** Once Sky resolved their connectivity issue, normal access to the Actionstep login page was restored. Throughout the incident, Actionstep systems continued to perform normally, and users connecting from unaffected networks experienced no disruption. **Next Steps** No Actionstep changes are required, as the root cause was external to our systems and infrastructure. If customers encounter similar symptoms in the future, we recommend testing an alternative connection \(such as a mobile hotspot\) and contacting their ISP to confirm whether a localised network issue is occurring. **Acknowledgement** We recognise that this caused inconvenience for affected customers and appreciate everyone’s patience while Sky resolved their network routing issue. Ensuring reliable access to Actionstep remains our priority.

Microsoft has reported significant progress in mitigating the earlier Azure Front Door (AFD) outage that caused latency, timeouts, and service errors across Microsoft 365 and Azure services. This recovery effort involves reloading configurations and rebalancing traffic across a large number of nodes to restore full operational scale. The process is gradual by design to ensure stability and prevent overload as dependent services recover. Microsoft is seeing strong signs of improvement across affected regions and remains on track for full mitigation by 23:20 UTC on October 29, 2025, though full recovery may occur sooner. Impact to Actionstep: Users should now be able to access Microsoft-related functionality, including the Outlook Add-in, OneDrive integrations, and Office 365 email services. Some users may still experience intermittent issues while Microsoft’s recovery completes. We are continuing to monitor Microsoft’s progress and will provide confirmation once full restoration is achieved.

Access to Microsoft-related functionality — including the Outlook Add-in, OneDrive integrations, and Office 365 email services — has been restored. Users should now experience normal performance.
