For two days we have been supporting clients who have lost their internet in and around Lincoln. It looks like BT is working on the infrastructure (I have seen BT Openreach vans in Bardney, Heighington, Washingborough and Braston with manhole covers up and cable trailers) and I think this is the problem.
It is a problem for the clients with I house exchange servers as the impact on the business due to the loss of email is higher than they expect. However it has given me an opportunity to talk about a “fall back” Internet connection based on 3G and a fixed IP solution.
So there is truth in the saying about clouds and silver linings.
