Workers at BT and Openreach are staging strike action today as up to 38,000 people walkout amid an ongoing pay dispute.
While this will not directly impact broadband or telecommunications, call centre operators and technicians will be walking out, as well as 999 phone operators.
This could leave people waiting longer than usual for support, however BT have said that they will do "whatever it takes" to protect their 999 services and reduce disruption.
