I'll throw a guess that he emailed them asking why he was blocked and they simply replied.

The fact is loads of us are blocked, both here at work and at home I'm blocked Aquiss was also blocked but have been put on a white list - see thread on TBB.

It does seem rather extreme that so many have been blocked, I expect a good few were just checking for FTTP availability.

Yes and no. The public shouldn't have had access to begin with: it's supposed to be for wholesale partners.

Seems strange doing it after all this time though I guess they were bored of a few, on dynamic IPs, generating loads of queries needlessly.

Probably a good idea to check you aren't blocking your wholesale partners first though? ;)

Its especially a peculiar time as some people from said wholesale partners will still be working from home, which is presumably where Aquiss got caught out.

Should put it behind login really, though whether that would complicate API checks I'm not sure.

Anyway by the by. Doesn't seem to be a clear pattern to it all - I can still access fine.

Aquiss were blocked on the CP version of the checker that is behind a login.

That's the day when BTw blocked it. I checked via my mobile it wasn't blocked that's was it. Just last time I checked.
