I had heard that it wasn't actually the Chatham exchange but instead the
Bluebell Hill exchange in Medway that was affected.

Errr, that was my fault *turns a subtle shade of crimson* I misquoted
the number internally and it made it out to service status. I've only
just realised the error after reading this thread. The content itself
though was lifted directly from a BT Wholesale briefing that I received
early yesterday evening.

A timely response from one of the Plusnet Team!

They must all be on Usenet, hence no responses on the portal support
system. ;-}

(Sorry Bob, but service is a bit dire of late!)

i could be mistaken, but i caught the slightest hint of tongue-in-
cheekery in the latter end of the post. but then, who's to say that
the writer of the article wasn't classically educated and sufficiently
old-fashioned to believe that the latin plural of the adjective "nova"
would apply here...
