I guess they're going through the exchange/data centre affected pulling out cables until the one with the problem is found as they gradually put them all back in, so I must be nearer the top of their pull list.Originally posted by vetran View Postfor me only yesterday morning 9:30->11:30 issues with VPN.
Fine today.

for me only yesterday morning 9:30->11:30 issues with VPN.Originally posted by Hobosapien View PostIt may be the BT issue reported on 'el reg' this morning, similar but different issue to the one BT had in London yesterday.
For me (Plusnet, so BT without the full level of extortion) it was dodgy yesterday morning and this morning, especially trying to VPN onto client network. Strangely CUK and some other sites were ok for me to access so not all was lost.
Seems to be ok now, but wonder what they'll screw up tomorrow.
Fine today.

Plusnet was flakey as hell for a couple of hours yesterday morning. CUK and google worked, lots of other things didn't. I don't know if it was related but at about 5pm my VDSL connection was repeatedly dropping.
I've seen a few slow things this morning but it's mostly fine.
