TalkTalk Customers Hit by Email and Web Browsing Woes
Posted: 12th Feb, 2009 By: MarkJ
TalkTalk's (The Carphone Warehouse) broadband ISP customers have been impacted by a spate of email, hosting and website browsing problems since a power outage struck the service last weekend.
As if that wasn't bad enough, it's now emerged that TalkTalk's users have also been blacklisted from accessing several popular websites, such as eBay and Hotmail:
Curiously it's believed that the problems are isolated to several specific telephone exchanges around the UK, although nobody has been able to answer why this would be or how many customers are being affected.
