BT Broadband Outage

I had no internet all Friday morning; apparently there was a BT fault that affected the Midlands.

It didn't seem to reach the news though, but as soon as it's the North it's all over front pages. Sort of.

There was no broadband in Berkshire on a couple of occasions in the last 2 weeks, email server has now just gone down. I have to keep resetting the hub almost every evening to get a connection for the last 2 weeks. Not just me, neighbours too.

I've had a few more short outages today. In fact I had one a few minutes ago when I first tried to post this.

What is going on? Are all these outages over the country part of some cunning plan?
