My ISP updates us with BT Openreach reports of "Matters Beyond Our Reasonable Control" - MBORC. Of course, that won't help people whose connection has failed, but it gives an idea of where there are major problems because of the weather:
"Further to our MBORC declaration yesterday, the areas which we listed remain severely affected by the weather, and remain subject to MBORC:
Highlands
North East Scotland
Tayside and Fife
South East Scotland
West Scotland
Newcastle and Northumberland
Tyneside, Durham and Wearside
Tees Valley
York
Bradford
Leeds
South Yorkshire/Chesterfield
Lincoln
Esher
Croydon
Crayford
Southbank
Tunbridge Wells
Following new snow falls and freezing temperatures, Openreach is now declaring a matter beyond our reasonable control (MBORC)/force majeure event in the following Openreach operational areas:
Derby
Nottingham
Canterbury
Brighton
Portsmouth
Southampton
Maidenhead
The declaration in respect of these new areas is effective from 14.00 today (Thursday 2 December 2010). It applies to all activities in the listed areas that are subject to MBORC."
