30% of all BT 21CN lines showing congestion or faults

The latest blog post from AAISP makes dismal reading:

[info] BT major issues and congestion
We have completed the first stage of our automated analysis of problems within the BT network. The report is generated daily and can be found at :-
https://clueless.aaisp.net.uk/congestion.cgi
Naturally this is has been made available to BT as well.
We are working on making more detailed reports showing the exact levels of loss and latency at different times of day to give customers a better idea of the impact of these issues.
You will note that yesterday nearly 30% of all of our BT lines were suffering with major congestion or fault issues. This is likely to affect other ISPs using 21CN back-haul in similar proportions and suggests that 21CN is, as a whole, still not working properly.
We are continuing to work closely with BT to get this sorted as soon as possible, and we welcome feedback from other ISPs on this.
Update: We now show a graphical indication of severity of the issue in each area.

Yes - but as I added an exclusion on Firefox that doesn't prove anything  Grin
EDIT - removed the exception and the warning isn't there now  Cool

Yes - if it was the forum software parsing which messed up the original link
