All,

I have pinched this from another site, thought it may be of interest.....

Please be advised that to enable an essential network upgrade, BT will be carrying out planned engineering work on 4000 exchanges starting Mon 29 January 2007 over a period of 8 weeks.

A spreadsheet is available containing information on when BT are scheduled to work on which exchanges.

The engineering work will be conducted between the hours of 00:01 – 06:00 each night and customers on scheduled individual DSLAM's should expect to experience a downtime period of approximately 30 minutes. The maintenance work will only effect the DSLAM's scheduled for maintenance, and will affect all users connected to them no matter which ISP the user is with.

If you find you are unable to connect to your broadband service after the work has been completed, we would appreciate it if you could fully reboot your broadband equipment by powering down for a minimum of 30 seconds before switching it back on and trying to re-connect again.


I have attached the mentioned speadsheet (.xls format).

Rik

Does this PDF help, Inactive?

Nope, Microsoft Works doesn't show up in the list, yet I do have it.

Strange.

You'll probably find that your exchange isn't on the list anyway now, Inactive!

Mine wasn't!  :)

I find this site to be of good use for keeping an eye on whats happening to your local exchange

http://www.samknows.com/broadband/index.php

Left Side Menu, Availability, Exchange Search

Thanks for that link Desaan...it suggests that my location has cable, we havn't long had sewers .. no chance of cable. :laugh:

Yeah I guess its just a rough gathering of data, although comprehensive - according to the site I too can also get cable, which is partly true - because if I lived 200 yards down the road I could.  So I guess its not too far off :)

I also use this one - http://usertools.plus.net/exchanges/

Lance

The problem with the links from maxping and Desaan is that neither site offers advance warnings of outages, as far as I can see!

Quite useful sites otherwise though.  :)

For the benefit of some newer members, I thought I would bump this thread back up to the top.
