Hi @RichardPickett,
Welcome back to our Community Forums and thanks for your post.
Sorry to hear you're having issues with your landline again. Appreciate that isn't ideal.
I have checked our systems for you and can see this is due to an area outage.
The latest update we have is: We have identified the problem and an engineer is on their way.
We expect to have this repaired by 22:55.
Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.
