Stop paying.

Stick with Pipex for the internet and Sky for your TV.

Blueyonder do know there is a problem and say it is fixed apparently, anyway if any of your services go down try checking out this page:

http://www.blueyonder.co.uk/blueyond...tatuspage.html

It is where they report all know errors and estimated correction times etc

Just found this on the website about all Digital TV services:

Customers in the Nationally may currently be experiencing problems with Digital TV last night into this morning. Service should now be restored. If not please switch the Telewest Set top box off at the wall plug, leave off for 30 seconds then reconnect. The box should then reload to channel 890. You can channel away from this and service should be restored. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Poor gits that had the internet off too. Ours was ok, bit irritating that I couldnt watch the tv, but its the first time i've had any problem with it in nearly 3yrs. Similarly, never have a problem with the internet (except that it isnt 8mb ).
