Uswitch comments on Ofcom investigation following 999 emergency call outage
Rehan Ali, Uswitch telecoms expert, comments: “The severity of this investigation cannot be overestimated.
“Lives are at risk with emergency service calls - and customers need to know they can reliably use their phone to get through to emergency help when it’s needed.
“BT’s decision to share its own internal investigation findings publicly is the right one to help rebuild trust in the systems that we all rely on to keep people safe.
“If faults have occurred, they must be addressed with the utmost urgency.”
