We reported this morning we where seeing issues with our DSL circuits, this has now escalated to issues within BT wholesale themselves affecting multiple services to providers across the UK.
We believe the same London datacenter that experienced issue yesterday is once again experiencing issues today however is now affecting other providers.
Services affected include DSL circuits dropping and not re-establishing, along with poor quality calls if they can be made / received.
Once again this is affecting providers across the UK and is not just limited to our selves, we are working with BT and other providers to assist BT in restoring services.
This is also affecting our phones and we advise clients to email support.
Once we know more we will provide an update. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

We are seeing call quality return to normal, however this has been officially confirmed as resolved. We are still seeing a number of DSL circuits down however.
UPDATE02 – 10:10
As advised in the previous post, we can confirm this is due to another power issue is London that has further affected BT wholesale.
UPDATE03- 10:15
