BTOpenreach engineers have been dispatched after BT<\/a> declared that a Major Service Outage<\/strong> (MSO) had this morning struck its\u00a021CN<\/strong> based broadband ISP services across the south of England, London and Birmingham areas, which has caused customers of multiple providers to lose connectivity.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Precise details vary; it\u2019s believed that the problems began at around 7am<\/strong> after unspecified “configuration changes<\/em>” to the operators network trigged a fault at several RASs \/ telephone exchanges across the region. According to AAISP, BT<\/a> is performing a “technical bridge<\/em>” to solve the problem and its support teams are said to be “fully engaged<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere PlusNet<\/a> reported that the problem was affecting the following dialling code areas: 01905, 0121, 01452, 01564, 01684, 01242, 01865, 01789, 0129, 01827, 01527, 01432, 01543, 01926, 01600, 01386, 01676, 01386, 01384, 01885, 01453, 0162275 and 0127373.<\/p>\n

BTs Official Status Update<\/strong><\/p>\n

Estimated time to resolve: 15:00<\/em><\/p>\n

We’re really sorry but we’ve got a problem at the moment nationwide, which means that some of our customers will be having trouble getting online.<\/em><\/p>\n

Customers may experience intermittent loss of connection or drop in connection.<\/em><\/p>\n

We’re trying to fix the problem as quickly as we can.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s understood that the fault itself was identified at around midday and will now take approximately 2 hours for it to be “manually restored<\/em>” (i.e. the fix is expected by around 14:00 or 15:00). At present this issue is affecting 21CN lines and all related ISPs appear to be reporting it, although it could also be impacting some ADSL<\/a> services on BT<\/a>’s older 20CN network but we’ve had no firm confirmation of that.. yet.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 12:33pm<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some ISPs report that connections are slowly resuming, although many remain offline.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 4:47pm<\/strong><\/p>\n

Various ISPs say that the problem should now be resolved and affected customers\u00a0are advised to\u00a0power down their broadband kit and power on again in order to re-establish a connection (assuming it doesn’t return of its own accord).<\/p>\n

Customers still affected should power down their ADSL<\/a> equipment fully before retesting. Customers still experiencing problems after this should contact technical support<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
