Power and Broadband Outage in Mayfair

Businesses and residents in Mayfair were affected by a localised power outage yesterday afternoon.

A knock on effect of this was that power to 3 of BT's ADSL "muxes" in Mayfair was lost, meaning that broadband was unavailable for several hours, leaving many firms unable to work.

According to BT's log, the ADSL error was detected at 16:11 and serviced was restored at 18:09.
