BT Network failure?

I have suddenly started to get some connections timing out, Pings fail and Tracerts time out at the same point and
Downforeveryone suggests the sites are up. One of the sites is Wiki: en.wikipedia.com

Whereas with a site I can access:

Anyone else having issues?

Yes, me

When I posted there was nothing on the BT status line, however it is there now. One site I cannot access is the BT on-line status update page.

Issues here too - Exchange LCLAN.
everything very slow or times out, but the BT speedtest returns normal results?

Yep.. problems in Bedford also.

Yes there is a 98% failure it seems

Confusing for some the speed test in the BT app still gives a good result.

At least its not just me...

Spoke with BT first thing who said there's no issues in my area (East Scotland) although as usual they said it could be because i'm connecting by Wi-Fi instead of wired....

Major difficulties since about 8am

Large scale electrical storms NEngland/Central Scotland

Yup. Speedtest working fine, but some sites are extremely slow. A pal in Glenrothes (central) has no BB at all. Not sure if related.

Lots of thunder and lightning here today.
