[link to this post]

BT has confirmed that a "power issue" 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.

Yep, mate working for BT in Belfast saying they're getting a lot of calls about it.

No problems with my Infinity connection in Bangor, N.Ireland though.

Seems to affecting more business customers for some reason. The BT service status messages are as succinct as ever...to the point they tell you nothing of any interest.

Yep it's major. Just logged in to our work monitoring portal (we monitor data connections) and I'm seeing around a couple of hundred connections (all xDSL broadband) down since 12:30. All over the country - Glasgow to Exeter.

Cue the legions of misinformed numpties invading the BBC website to give off like they were some Guardian commentator.

Dozens of replies from people without the faintest notion of how telephony or the internet works but they all know how to sort it out of course wink
