~18:55 - 19:15 here that evening. Has been OK since though .....

No Simon, it was Monday night we were talking about ... at least, that's what I was talking about

Ah, OK. Well, we we're doing anything that night either. We would only ever carry out planned mainenance out of peak time.

Cheers

Can only have been BT then, particularly since outages seemed to be spaced about an hour apart in various locations. No sweat. Still more than happy with the service you provide.
