Same here on Aberdaron (NW Wales) exchange (8Mbps ADSL). It looks like a backhaul fault to me.

ok here    north east  :dunno:

Down here in Perthshire. 20CN. First showed as stale session. Rebooted with sync but no PPOA connection/logon. I guess we need IDNET to take a look so we no not chase our tails.

There's nothing on the network status feed, so it could be a BT fault or a problem at IDNet. Both my lines, one BT, one Telefonica are fine, so in the first place I'd suggest powering routers down for 15-30 minutes to clear stale sessions. If that doesn't work, contact the out of hours service.

It seems to be affecting customers on 8Mbps ADSL, has anyone on ADSL2 have a problem?

Down here - 01733 8mb adsl max.
Interestingly my ppp log shows me connected to Milton Keynes, I assume thats a BT endpoint or something.

Called out of hours support, 5 minute hold time, they are very much aware of it, says its a wide scale issue with lots of calls so far. Didnt bother with any details except a call back number and dsl line number so looks like they already got a long list of people.

Using mobile BB now, which is horrible slow. Worse than dialup.

It's a BT 21CN node.

I've advised IDNet direct.

OK, I've just heard back from IDNet, there's been a BT outage somewhere, they haven't had the fault report, but it's caused stale sessions, so go down the 15-30 minute power down route in the first place.

You can't really blame IDNet for BT's problems.

Just powered back on after having the router off for 20 mins. No joy. I'll try it again for longer.

Call support, that should have been enough and I know they are having to reset some sessions manually.

Hi Rik, How are you mate?
My neighbour who's with BT says he has connection, Am I right in thinking that if it were a BT problem he would be down also or is that too logical in the technological world. ???

BT routing depends on whch ISP one uses.

BT Broadband routing is different to IDNet because the traffic is offloaded at their nearest point of presence which are dotted around the country.

IDNet's traffic is backhauled to a central location


Rik

I'm OK, thanks, Paul. As Mitch says, BT's retail routing is different to BT's wholesale routing plus, I get the sense that this may only be affecting people on ADSL (20CN) connections, not 21CN, but there's not enough information to be sure from the posts.

Had modem off for 31 mins - still no joy, not had a call back either so may give them another call in a min.

edit
Support number is engaged lol. Must still be a lot of people calling.

Perhaps best not to reboot too much, till we know fault is clear, to avoid trashing profile One reboot should be sufficient to clear the stale session. I think router will keep trying to logon on after that, till successfull?

The OOH support people are not meant to promise call backs, IDNet have had words with them. They pass the info to the on call IDNet technician, who concentrates on fixing the problems, not making calls.

Status page has been updated finally to say some lines are down.  Presumably that means rebooting won't work?
