Nope.

I can also confirm for the past hour (went down around 7:45am) I've either had extremely slow (less than 0.1Mbps) or no internet via BT Broadband on my home line and absolutely no internet at all on Zen via my business line. Both connected to same exchange but different VDSL cabinets.

Having to access internet via tethering to my mobile phone.

Very slow here in Droitwich Spa

Paul

LOL even their time is wrong...

Thu 21/07/2016 at 09:32 Ongoing Loss of Broadband and Telephone services.

So does that mean they new it was going to happen LOL.

Paul

From what I can see its packet loss so sites with less heavy graphic use may well continue to work, and email while slow should be OK.

Taking the same weird routing to TBB

Well I was thinking it was more of a routing issue.

BTCare just Tweeted:

In reference to twitter.com/BTCare/status/756056416469778432:

We�re sorry that some BT customers can't connect to some internet services today.We're working to reduce impact, engineers are on site now

I cannot even ping our server.

It also seems that Zen are re-routing their customers that was having the issue.

Zen status:

We have been made aware of issues on BT Network.

All customers connecting though London may experience drops in connectivity but then reconnect to Zen's network via other gateways.

If you are experiencing issues reconnecting, please power down your equipment for a few minutes.

BT are investigating the issue and updates will be provided when we have them.

Zen regret any inconvenience this may cause.
