    Hands up who's using BT for internet access...

    ... oops, sorry, you're probably kicking your PC around the room at the moment:

    BBC News - BT suffers major broadband outage

    BT has confirmed that a "power failure" at a major exchange in Birmingham is causing problems for broadband customers across the UK.

    Customers have reported problems from as far afield as Belfast, Edinburgh, Swansea and London.

    Times like these that I especially love not paying the BT tax.

    Do you have cable? or still pay the line rental to another provider?
    How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

      I'm not with BT, so even though I'm using the exact same line and exchange as if I was with BT, and therefore just as susceptible to outages, I'm allowed to take the piss out of BT and their customers, and pay less for doing so.

              Ok, plusnet took a while to come out. Getting through to their call centre is a 15 minute wait each time you have to call. But the Engineer came out, replaced all the cable from the connection to the house, down the wall, re-routed it in the house, put a new box on the wall, etc. All no charge, and it works, so credit due where it's due.

              He then commented to my wife that two blokes had gone in next door, as in one out, one in, within the period of him being up the ladder and the woman next door had closed the curtains. Did we expect something was going on?

              Edit- tulip wrong post
