They are upto the normal tricks, being rude and ignoring any comments I make. It took 4 attempts for him to understand my telephone number:

3997?

No 4997!

3997?

No its 4997?

oh 3997?

No the phone number is *** 4997

oh its *** 4997?

Looks OK now from here (BT). Definitely a problem at the BBC end from all the evidence I can find.

Re: Is the BBC website down?

It has been a bit laggy via Sky too so it's definitely not network issues and is looking very much like a BBC side issue.

This might be because:

  • We are experiencing abnormal traffic to our network or
  • the service or servers it is on is not currently available.
Please try the following options instead:

  • Try again later once we have solved the problem.
  • Use our site index

Now seems OK
