DAMAGED BT cables in Ilford have caused chaos across London, cutting out internet access and phone services for thousands of people in the capital.
The fault has also re-set the phasing of traffic lights in central London.
Long traffic jams are reported on many streets as a result.
It is believed the cables were damaged accidentally during maintenance works in a tunnel on Sunday night.
