The outage is affecting customers in several major cities across the UK, including London, Birmingham, Glasgow, Manchester, Durham, Newcastle, and Glasgow. Most of the providers have not issued an official statement yet, so the reason behind the outage isn't clear at this point. BT's service status page confirms that it is aware of the issue and is working on resolving it as quickly as possible. TalkTalk is also aware of the issues and says its engineers are working on restoring services as soon as possible. Like BT, however, TalkTalk hasn't provided a specific timeframe for restoration of services.
