Mine back to normal now, give or take a few meg :-
Are we going to have to put up with this carry on every Sunday?.
And as far as this "A cable has been cut in xxxxxxxxx location, sorry for the hassle" nonsense I don't believe for 1 minute that the whole of the O2 UK broadband operation runs through 1 or 2 particular cables and if one of said cables goes down the whole of the country ends up with what we had last night.
Smacks of the railway networks and their "Ohh....it's the wrong type of leaves, sorry!!".
More inclined to believe it is network contention issues to blame and if they are upgrading and we have to have downtime then that is acceptable.
What I do take issues with is the lack of official info on the problems when they occur. Makes no sense to either stay silent when these issues crop up and then have us all guessing at what the root issue is.
But on the other hand I will admit that on face value - What ISP does keep you fully informed when any issues crop up?. Not many, if any at all!!!.
Literally 40Gigs worth of fibre was cut outside waterloo by Network Rail.

Hmmm.
Still think its a bit of a coincidence that someone somewhere manages to cut a critical wire every Sunday though.

A lot of work which will cause disruption, such as digging up roads, is done on a Sunday.

Having issues this evening m8?. Not heard any rumblings that there is anything wrong myself. My connection is working fine @16Mb download speeds.
Are you on LLU?.
I'm moving house to a Be connection. Is there anyone having problems in Surrey?
To be honest i've had so many problems with my current connection (Virgin) that if i moved house into more problems with another ISP i think i would actually just abandon the internet completely and take up croquet or something.
