Not only are phones/internet down but the bust stop outside Aura court is closed too - so assume will remain shut until then at least.

Oh no

I always stop for busts, now what am I going to do for entertainment until Monday

Joking aside thank you hpsaucy for the update.

If 'everything' is down, and the repair time is long, the chances are that this is a cable breach, either accidently (i.e. JCB went through it in error) or the result of intentional cable theft. Because each cable is made up of multiple twisted pairs, each of which uniquely connects between the subscriber's end and the exchange equipment, restoration requires each pair to be correctly matched; this is much more complex than mending an electricty cable or gas pipe or water pipe - when just joining back the ends is all this is required to restore 'flow'. Similary damage to a flexibility point (i.e. one of the green cabinets in the street) also required meticulous restoration of each pair. Do you know what has caused this outtage?

Anyway, they have been hard at it all weekend so fingers crossed.

Nope - BT were pretty opaque about it on the times we've rung them - but then don't suppose call centre staff often get the teccie view. Seems to be a mixture of fixing and other work going on on the street and also local exchange. That bit of road is often being worked up but various companies...

If anyone's interested - seems to be up and running.

Not sure about the 'bust' stop tho lol.

Just been told on the phone by sky that due to this 'BT' issue phones and broadband could be down till sat.

All digging works finished. Bus stop sign not yet caught up with repairs though and still says out of use, but buses seem to be stopping outside Aura Court again anyway ...

HI there. Well - when I wrote it I thought so. Ours is on, but different flats in our block (40 Solomon's) have differing experiences. Some still have no internet (some of those with Sky seemingly), some no landline.... Some fiddled around with router cables etc. to get the internet back on.

Guessing yours isn't' then?

[intexasatthe moment]

Landline still out ,internet BT infinity ok ,but I'm concerned that the problem is our phones . But can't tell .
