A Haywards Heath based YouTuber is frustrated that he cannot make his videos after his BT broadband went down during Storm Eunice.

Simon Price, of Lexington Drive, said his fibreoptic broadband was knocked out at Friday lunchtime (February 18) during the severe weather.

Simon, 47, runs a high-end audio and Hi-Fi stereo review channel called 13th Note HiFi Reviews, but said he has not been able to create any new content for a week.

“I rely on having the internet,” said Simon, adding that he needs to plug his audio equipment into a functioning router.

“The router only works when there is a local area network (LAN) and that local area network only happens when there’s a broadband connection going through the router,” he said.

“You can’t network off a router that doesn’t have a broadband connection,” he added.
