Came back on in South Down this morning. I had to restart the router before mine would work.

Heard the crash was something to do with Take That tickets and so many people trying to get them. Could be bullshit, but it sounds stupid enough to be true!

sure you wouldn't notice the difference if it's on or off, given that it's usually shite 24/7 in any case.

That's what BT get for using cheap chinese shit on their networks.

Didn't go down on Friday on me, but it did today. Bloody nuisance. Still, it's only the Internet, not civilisation as we know it.

Ha ha reminds me of the episode of south park when the internet was down for 8 days. Randy was class.

Agreed. My sister in law changed her whole package over to Sky and notices massive improvements compared to BT. Seen on another thread on another forum, where posters would use speednet.org and post their download and upload speeds. BT results from all over the UK were terrible compareto other service providers. My own mac code already obtained

Thinking of moving over to Sky too. I already have the Satellite, so I may as well go for telephone and broadband too. I hear it's a much better service than BT.
