Atlantic route changes?

[ETOPS773]

I am writing regarding this passages on the BBC webite about solar storms we are weathering...

link is here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3230807.stm

Quote:
Earlier this week, aircraft traversing the north Atlantic were confined to a narrow corridor to minimise radiation exposure

I have spoken to a few pilots who fly this route often and they have never heard of any such change earlier this week........

Anyone know if this statement is true?? Anyone here been following a radiation reducing corridor on the north atlantic???

I have never altered course nor have I ever been rerouted by dispatch because of solar phenomena.

the corridor they were reffering to was not directly due to the solar activity but it was so that atc would have a better idea where aircraft were if radio contact was lost

no idea if it was used though since i aint a commercial pilot
