BT Business broadband customers using static IP addresses have been booted offline this morning by an unidentified fault.
According to BT's status page, the problems were noticed at 9.51am and are ongoing, with engineers investigating. There's no word on the extent of the outage.
Static IP addresses are an essential feature of most business broadband packages, allowing secure remote working.
We've contacted BT for an explanation and will provide updates when they respond.
