Problems afoot!

Looks like there's problems afoot. Yellow triangle on the broadband status page too.
Then my BB speed has dropped from 17 Mbits/s to 1 to 2 Mbits/s Sad
Phone stopped working and is on a ticket.
Any one else having issues in the South Staffordshire region?

Broadband connectivity (78095) - UPDATE
Broadband
Posted on: Saturday 16 November 2013, 11:39
This is an update to last night's post about the loss of connectivity affecting some of our broadband customers.
The problem has been attributed to a major BT Wholesale outage. Whilst customers are able to reconnect, the network is significantly out of balance which may cause performance issues as we enter the peak time period.
If you're having difficulties getting online then we suggest you log into your router and try connecting manually from the settings pages.
Kind regards,
Bob Pullen
Customer Support.

Re: Problems afoot!

I've checked your connection and everything looks ok, how are things your side?

Re: Problems afoot!

Hi Chris, I've got a ticket open for it. "A Question [ 77301708 ] has been created in association with your account."
I was told that Openreach has been contacted by Plusnet support.
Phone totally non functional and drastic drop in broadband speed - about a third to a quarter of usual speeds.
If you can speed the progress of the problem, I would be very happy!

Your phone fault is due to be resolved by the 20th 9pm, hopefully it may be fixed prior to this.

They'll more than likely be linked to one another, so I'd hope so too.

Re: Problems afoot!

Cheesy The phone line is now fully functional. The broadband speed is improving though not up to previous speed yet. I guess it needs to build up to it. Thanks Chris!
