Some people in the UK may remember this problem at the end of March? https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/british-gas-eon-websites-crash-meter-readings-energy-rise/ https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/british-gas-eon-websites-crash-me... So someone I know couldnt submit their meter reading at various times throughout the 31st of March so I did it for them simply by doing a tracert to the server handling the meter readings in question for Eon. In the time it took for the tracert to complete I was able to log in as them and submit their meter reading! Before the tracert trick, I too was having lots of problems logging in as them trying to submit their meter reading. I did the tracert because I was going to VPN to physically get closer to their server, possible even within the same data centre and as it happens it was located on a globally recognised brands scalable cloud server so there was no reason really for these server to not handle all these meter readings! The cynic in me thinks this was an attempt by some energy firms to consolidate their market positions by messing customers around with higher energy bills which reinforces the adage nice guys finish last, or when looking back over several months, the nice companies go bust! So some IT staff working for Eon will be getting their comeuppance, because they didnt let their servers scale up to meet demand and the so called free british press are extremely quiet on this point, because they dont want to reduce advertising income! There are so many legal ways to be criminal!
