Yeah and its been 8+ hours since it went down. It shouldent take then this long. They had multiple links, as far as I know.

I don't think they do actually have multiple links.
In any case, even if they have multiple links if it enters the NOC on one local cable then its still prone to this sort of thing.

There is a discussion going on over at alt.internet.providers.uk

I'm sorry...the first thing that came to my mind the moment I heard about this was "what's going to happen to Tacid now?"

Don't know why...it just comes naturally :rolleyes:

FH have been down for almost 20 hours, apparently a load of BT routers went down today (my ISP included) but everyone else was back up in an hour tops.

What is wrong with them?

Not likely!

Don't or didn't they advertise that they have three separate network providers so that this couldn't happen?

Adam,

Yeah, they said BT and UUnet but it looks like it's only BT.

Do you do Windows 2000 Dedicated or Co-Lo? As I would like to get away from FH.
