It must be hot down there in the Docklands...

BT customers hit by broadband outage...again
Another power problem, this time at Telehouse North

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/07/21/bt_customers_broadband_outage/


As is often the case for The Register "commentards", the comments are
more informative and amusing than the article... Shame this is all the
real IT!...

Thankfully, 'we' missed this one this time. At least my data packets are
getting through. (No BT here (tm) :-) )


See ya folks later to compare notes and to bash away!
