I'd guess either the ATM switch is down or its the rack containing the equipment which distributes to the hub sites.

There is a powercut in the area and the UPS has not kicked in. All hubsites fed from luton are effected. LU MK SG postcodes.
The switch is on battery backup.

If the UPS is knacked then the whole area is at the mercy of the local electrickery board!
Every bump could take out equipment.
Lets hope everything comes back on ok!
