[LUG] OT ish: Fire at BT exchange in Paddington affecting phone lines and DSL for some customers

 

Hi folks,

It appears a BT Exchange in North Paddington has had a fire (caused by a flood) and not only is it affecting a whole load of customers in London, it is also affecting customers in other parts of the country.

There is a story on The Register about the problems...

It appears that Griffin Internet has been affected and they have posted a link to a list of affected exchanges on the status page and looking through the list it's affecting exchanges all over the country including this area (Exmouth was one such exchange listed). The status page can be found here: http://www.gradwellstatus.com/

On the comments an Entanet customer in Birmingham has also reported problems, there is more on the Entanet NOC at http://noc.enta.net
