BT DSL network still fails to do the job

NEWS BT's IP backbone network is up and running after yesterday's massive outage which brought the nation's DSL network to its knees. A BT spokesman said that the network had been stable since 18:40 yesterday. A silicon.com reporter also managed to make a successful ADSL connection this morning. But silicon.com readers have still been writing in to report access problems. A BT spokesman suggested that these were probably not linked to the outage on BT's Colossus IP backbone network.
