Openreach, not BT (who are a rival ISP). No ISP is permitted more 'clout' than any other, in order to maintain a competitive market.
Here's the thing: we had v high gusts of winds for approx 2 hours on a single day. Are there not questions regarding the resilience of kit and susceptabilty to unusual weather events that should have been addressed?
