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..
