Flood, fire at BT Paddington node causes widespread problems

I live right next to the exchange

... and my telephony just came back at around 8:30

Not sure about broadband but I am assuming that would work as well.

As Dr. Funk said, still fire engines there, must've been a big flood. I'm still curious as to how an electrical failure caused a flood which then caused a fire...

An electrical failure causing a fire causing a flood (through sprinklers) is understandable, but not the other way round. Unless they have water pumps running 24/7 which is just madness...
