Broadband unusable yesterday evening

Hi,
My broadband service was virtually unusable yesterday evening between around 20:30 and 23:30 - as can be seen in the following thinkbroadband graph:

Long ping times and a load of packet loss - the break in the monitoring will be me rebooting the router and fibre box.
Could one of the support team have a look and let me know what caused this (and more importantly if it's likely to happen again!)?
Thanks in advance Smiley
Cheers,
Dave.

Hi Dave,
It looks as though there was an issue detected in your area at around 21:31 and was resolved at 23:22.
Our suppliers are collecting through logs still to find the root cause for the problem on this one. Looks as though some of the equipment at your exchange failed which alerted engineers out in the area who resolved the issue within 2 hours.
I wouldn't have thought this is something that will happen again (of course faults can happen, so I am sorry for that).

@ froggy666uk - I think this might be the BT Fault Alert http://status.zen.co.uk/broadband/fault-outage-details.aspx?reference=45679
http://status.zen.co.uk/broadband/ is a useful site for checking faults/plannedmaintenance
