BT availability checker updated?

[link to this post]

Did we miss a communication from BT reference their availability checker being updated?

For the past 3 days, we are seeing that nearly 30% of numbers we check now show no capacity available on ADSL2+ WBC services, with future expected dates 2-3 weeks in the future. We also seeing orders on those exchanges being rejected due to capacity issues.

We know from time to time capacity crops up, but the percentage of lines being tested seems rather large.

Try testing via postcode EC1V 2NW (building number 130 ) which should give you an example.

My BB line is OK & unchanged, but ...

Dunno if it's connected, my non-BB line has been marked down recently from 'Up to 15 Meg' to ADSL1 speed on ADSL2+ WBC, but still available.

1999: Freeserve 48K Dial-Up => 2005: Wanadoo 1 Meg BB => 2007: Orange 2 Meg BB => 2008: Orange 8 Meg LLU => 2010: Orange 16 Meg LLU => 2011: Orange 20 Meg WBC
