UK Hit by BT Broadband Network SNAFU

Tim Richardson writes in The Register:

Hundreds of thousands of UK broadband users are thought to have struggled to access the net last night following a major glitch on BT's network.

All the UK's ISPs - including BT's own broadband ISP - that operate high-speed internet services from BT Wholesale were hit by the "major service outage" yesterday evening. It appears that software problems on three servers led to congestion on BT's network creating a logjam of people looking to connect to their ISP.

People already logged on when outage happened were unaffected by last night's outage.
