It looks remarkably similar to the big outage they had was it last year? Where they seemed to be in denial about there being a problem for the first day and then once they admitted there was a country-wide issue it took another day to resolve?

Almost nothing accessible here.
BT working on internet outage fix as broadband service is derailed across the UK

Power cut at HEX this morning. LINX reporting it, power was restored in 2 stages and LINX is now reporting OK. No idea how wide spread the power cut is/was in HEX but anyone with kit in Telecity HEX possibly affected. This could be the cause of what we are seeing.
BT itself seems ok, its only connectivity between BT and external networks that seem to have issues. EG traceroute to BBC.co.uk dies at UKcore then 5 mins later, its ok again.
Trace from Zen to BT fine one minute, but unreachable again just now.

Farnham and Midhurst affected with a lottery of what sites you can connect to. Getting definitive information on the fault is difficult but did stumble across this site which was quite handy: http://downdetector.co.uk/problems/bt-british-telecom

Still problems here.

It seems to mostly affect sites outside of the UK. Though some UK sites seem slow to connect.

Also effecting Plusnet users.

In reply to a post by Zarjaz:

Facebook was unreachable

Some good came of it then.

I question the use of the word �some�, implying a few when in fact it is almost everyone.

Agreed, we even keep loosing connection to our own servers.

BT says: London - 0203,0207,0208 (estimated clear date 20/07/2016) so some time today then
