BT Internet problems

Could I suggest these "BT subscribers" newsgroups may be of help? bt.broadband.support bt.internet.users.broadband.technical bt.broadband.announce

I could if I could see them ;) Looks like it's their end and affecting more than just website access. I've not been able to get to their on-line service reports only the 'telephone line' one and the news groups are just timing out without displaying messages. While this newsgroup is fine :)

I'd tried that one earlier yesterday without success :( As I said - it would be nice to know WHAT the problem was but at least now everything is fine again ( and I can now see the BT newsgroups which just had the usual crap :( )

I'n not with BT but had a telephone call from them today asking if I was satisfied with my current provider. When I said I was the caller said that's fine our recent changes will not affect you then and rang off. I wondered what they were but now I think I know.
