Title: Problems tonight?
Post by: karvala on Feb 28, 2012, 02:02:28
Lost the PPP layer about an hour again; no sign of getting it back, even after leaving the router off for 30mins.  CHAP authentication is failing consistently; this is not an actual username/password problem (I re-entered it as well just in case it had been corrupted in the router memory).

Anyone else having problems, or have BT singled me out for special treatment tonight?  I urgently need the connection to work tomorrow, so fingers crossed....

No problems here on FTTC. Hopefully it's just some planned works being done by BT.

According to AAISP there was some planned work last night which they didn't bother to inform them about. Here's mine from last night!

It was this one Alf.

BT neglected to mention that peterborough would be affected hence the frustration in the reporters comments.

We have advised BT
This is likely to have affected multiple internet providers using BT

Resolution It is planned work!

Update
Today 01:43:11  Lines still down, so chasing BT

Update
Today 02:21:27  Ok, so 40 minutes of my life wasted chasing BT and they are doing bugger all it seems. I'll try other channels.

Update
Today 03:18:10  Lines still off, and getting nowhere with BT at the moment

Update
Today 03:29:37  Hmm, apparently planned work. We are chasing why we did not get details

Update
Today 08:28:24  We found the notice for this, it does not say Peterborough and does not actually say what would happen. This is being raised within BT.

Many thanks guys, looks like you found the cause.  It's working fine again this morning, so I guess it must have been BT doing planned work without telling anyone, or at least the nearest thing they get to planning.
