BT baffled by nationwide broadband failure

BT has apologised after customers across much of the UK suffered Internet connection problems on June 28. The company, which provides broadband to seven million UK subscribers, was unable to say how many customers had been affected by the outage nor what had caused the problem. Downdetector, a website that monitors broadband services said outage reports originated mainly from London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds and Glasgow as well as other towns and cities across the UK.
