    RE: Arseholes.

    I thought you were going to say they were arseholes for not knowing that they might have a few problems if all the connected modems needed to renew their ip address at the same time. Never heard of any other isp - not even BT making that particular screw up

    I love this bit:

    &quot;It is difficult to establish the exact scale of the affected customers. Some customers may have noticed a loss of service as short as a few minutes, many may not have seen any loss of service at all, depending on when they were online.&quot; </p>

    So, if you happend to be out on Monday and not logged on, you wouldn't have noticed it was down.</p>

    It all makes sense now. I always wondered what happened to things that don't work whenI am not using them.</p>
