BT Broadband Outage

[Doggy Styles]

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?

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.

But it's a hobby and it keeps him out of mischief.

Tens of thousands of homes across the UK are without internet broadband on Friday night.

BT has confirmed the technical problems are affecting a "significant part" of the UK and say engineers are working to fix them.

Made for a boring Friday night having no access.

A BT equipment failure brought down ADSL2 customers on my ISP (IDNET) a couple of weeks back, a few hours later the status page said a BT engineer was on site fixing the problem.

Then ADSL MAX customers lost their connections, the BT numpty had switched off and replaced the wrong bit of equipment.

Looking at the ISP forum they lost a shed load of customers as it was the second time that month a BT failure caused a total loss of connectivity. ISP and customers not happy with BT.

Happened round my way in leafy Bucks three weeks ago.

..."Northern Ireland, Scotland and northern England"

Didn't realise the Internet had even reached those parts. One of the Barbarians must have chopped down the pole for firewood.

EDIT: Post number "666". Feels spooky.
