The work is part of network upgrades and will occur between midnight and 6am, with people possibly experiencing a downtime of 30 minutes on the night of the work. Therefore if your area is
scheduled for work one evening and your connection drops do not panic, but wait for a while before contacting your providers support team. BT is also recommending that if after the outage that
you cannot reconnect that you switch your ADSL hardware off for a minute and then switch it back on.
