Looks like a BT handover issue somewhere. My FTTC connection has 172.16.69.* address! Quite a few calls coming in by the looks of things.

So has mine, since 18.05! Any idea when this mental cruelty will end? Using my phone to post is a pain in the butt!

Hoorah ... looks like things 'might' be flowing again! Just received 20 email messages ... thanks Freeola :¬)

EDIT: Spoke too soon! Connection died again and a router reboot seems to have worked ... at the moment ;¬) At least the FTTC address appears to be correct.

Both of my connections been dead for the past few hours, seem to be back now.

Posting this from my Xbox with the chat pad thing, actually works quite well.

@DL I thought you chose not to move to FTTC the other week?

I haven't! But Eccles mentioned that address and it was the same as my router was showing as the IP address ... so there you go ... :¬)

This outage was nothing to do with BT this time. It was caused by a rouge routing issue with our wholesalers. Very unfortunate I know and hopefully it won't happen again.
It does explain why my IPv6 continued to work though!
Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
