Claranet punters hit by DSL downtime

Claranet has been busy trying to restore its broadband service today after part of its broadband platform was floored following an overnight upgrade.

According to the latest update, service has "now been restored to the DSL platform and customers should now be able to connect".

Details are still sketchy but it's thought that around a thousand punters - give or take - were hit by the snafu.

The ISP has apologised for the interruption to the service. ®
