Ours was down tonight for around an hour... in fact, we have two connections coming in. One is a set top box 1mb and the other is a modem 650k. They were both down!

Money saving feature? Who knows... it has been on and off intermittently for about 2 weeks to be honest. Perhaps this is something to do with their upgrades to fall in line, no sorry, fall above, their competitors? We have been promised a new box to enhance our 1mb to a 1.5 mb but no call so far.

I'm paying £65 per month at the moment for a flaky service... who is to say I would receive better from another provider though
