@TheChinnicus@soyradu Quite. It's the common wholesale platform that's gone down which has a knock-on effect for almost all ISPs as several tandem switches (and therefore some major fibre routes) have suddenly disappeared. Many ISPs can reroute traffic but it's causing congestion and timeouts.
@soyradu CWP platform is down, and yes it's affecting several providers that use part of the CWP tandems.
Voda rely heavily on it for IMS and wholesale (fibre) broadband.
@RobertJenrick It was your government that set up the contracts for the hotels - until 2028 - that we all still have to pay for even if they're all closed down tomorrow.
@KemiBadenoch hey Kemi? Why did your party sign contracts with Hotels to house immigrants that last until 2028 and would cost more to cancel than to let run?
Funny how it's everyone else's issue when your party signed the deals that you now blame Labour for!
@Tylercasperr @Rothbury01669@BWallArthur It's much more complicated than that - Are you aware that the UK actually created the rules that people accuse the EU of 'punishing' Britain?
Brexit was, and is, self flagellation.
Also, we literally sold all our utilities to European entities... We made our own mess sadly.
@Rothbury01669@BWallArthur More yes, but we'd still have 86 tariff free countries to trade with. Since Brexit, we pay tariffs to 193 UN member countries and 2 non UN countries.
It's not the win you think it is
@NorthBritannia@CountBinface ... If we were in the EU, yes, we would pay higher US tariffs - but we would still be able to trade with 31 countries tariff free. Outside of the EU, we pay tariffs to 109 countries out of all 193 UN countries.
Your Brexit bonus isn't exactly what you think it is...
@MuseumCommodore Was a great little machine, but was Commodores "STE" moment - breaking some compatibility and never really flexing the newer advanced features to remain compatible with the 500 et al.
@John170277@ArthurPewtey68@dave43law Dude, We've had loads of by-elections since the general election. How many more seats have reform won? Zilch, zip, nada. Reform will never win a GE.
@RyanWard56549@ColinBrazierTV Err, James Cleverly negotiated this deal... One of his last ones thankfully, you can't blame the current government for this.
