B@st@rd BT
« on: April 13, 2010, 03:00:48 PM »
Internet went off at 1800 last night. Still off this morning. Calls to ISP revealed that they had been informed of "Routine maintenance"  to be carried out at our local exchange. BT told them yesterday that this would involve a shut down of Broadband from 4am this morning until 8am.
Calls to BT from me were met with "We can't tell you anything because you are not our customer"  Banghead

It seems that unless I am willing to pay over the odds for their Broadband services they couldn't give a stuff.

Finally restored at 3.15pm today ~ 4 hour maintenance took 15.5 hours cussing:

Small wonder that they are losing business hand over fist.

Just a thought Snoop but this may not have been routine maintenance, BT is currently upgrading all of the exchanges to the new 20 mbps network. 

Check this site out and see if there has been any date given for the upgrade.

BT said it was "delighted to help Rutland Telecom" although it added that it hoped it would allow other service providers access to its new network. "Otherwise there is the risk of a local monopoly developing, which is never good for consumers," said BT Group Strategy Director Olivia Garfield.
