Popular ISP Be Broadband ( O2 ) has expanded its presence on Twitter, a social linking website, by launching a new profile that has been designed to help keep its members updated with any network outages, planned or unplanned. This is definitely something we would like to see more UK ISPs doing; at present only a few have recognised how useful the service can be (fewer calls/emails to tech support etc.).


The stream will be used to update members daily on upcoming planned network outages at their exchange, so that they won’t be surprised at any changes to their service. The Twitter profile will also be able to alert members to any short notice or unplanned outages.
