If they can't get through public are being asked to call 101 instead and NOT to make non emergency 101 calls if at all possible.

This does not cover the whole country and chunks of it are gradually getting fixed. Hopefully it wont be long to fix

Bizarre - the article I just linked did not originally have the quote from BT - however I think it updated in the last couple of minutes. Apologies
