You have to love some of the comments though:

yorkie71 20th January 2016
and when this happened I never knew BT Exchange being down would also impact 
Mobile phone signals.... who knew I thought the magic satellites/mobile masts 
did that


Aye Yorkie71, mobile phone backhaul is via Sootys’ magic wand.

FWIW this took out a load of subtend exchanges as well, and even “passthru” 
services, or so you would believe that only relied on the ODF were affected 
although I understand this was an accident rather than that EADs had optical 
amps in the building. Someone commented (at the time) somebody “put their foot 
in it” – quite literally, in badly managed fibre alongside one of the ODFs and 
ripped a bunch out.


Much the same happened in Leeds centre, although the shadow exchange was 
pressed into service here..

Slightly more casually interested in BT exchanges as well.
