Hang on a little more...
Even if you blame the BBC for this problem on the basis that it was their code crashing the BT router, BT are still to blame and should be paying for the fix.
Dodgy code should never cause a router to drop a line. The fact that the BT router dropped its line is a fault with the router and as BT supply the router its their problem.
Its nice that the BBC have done the honorable thing and provided a work around but the fact remains that those who own BT routers are likley to suffer simillar problems from other websites using new tech.
I am actually somewhat concerned that my licence fee has been used to diagnose faults for a private company. In this instance I have helped pay for BT's denial or responsibility.
