We use plus net. We had no adsl connectivity back until late evening. We have had no apology or explanation from Plusnet.

If the affected servers at Telehouse had been running a city trading system, billions could have been lost. It should not have taken 10 hours to swap out a power unit, and bring everything back online.

I still fail to understand why it happened at all. We have the technology for backup power supplies, redundant systems etc. Allegedly Telehouse implements this type of technology.

However, I have visited Telehouse in the past, and while accessing my servers, I could easily have disconnected other customers' servers, or uploaded malware, had I wanted to. So perhaps Telehouse's reliability claims are just marketing hype.
