As so you are still relying on the BT network via a 3rd party reselling BT wholesale. Rather than using another network (TalkTalk, C&W, Virgin, etc)?

Zen use there own infrastructure at the back end I believe. Only resell when they don't have a presence in the local exchange - where my office has a presence in the local exchange.

 

If i do trace out i never touch the BT network.

We're having more Internet problems. This time, BT's web site says it is because of the adverse weather conditions!

Oh no the waterproof cables got wet... or the exchanges flooded

The latter is possible. Their web site does re-assure me that they're doing everything they can to fix it. I'm not sure if that means saying "we can't control the weather" and doing nothing, or whether there are some BT engineers out doing a sundance somewhere.... :-)

Probably a leaky roof. They never look after the exchange buildings well and they are all 70esque eyesores with flat roofs.
