ISP Fasthosts has blamed BT for a 36-hour outage and vowed it will review its relationship with the telco.
The problem brought down websites hosted by the company as well as preventing customers from sending or receiving emails. Two angry customers contacted silicon.com earlier today about the problems.
John Davies, CTO of Fasthosts, said: "It was denial of service attack on a core BT router in Reading. But it took BT over 24 hours to realise this." Davies and seven engineers have been on site since 06.00(BST) Tuesday, trying to fix the problem.
He denied suggestions that Fasthosts was to blame for the prolonged downtime, he added: 'The only mistake we made was to trust BT with aspects of our internet service.'
