OK Richard, All ISP's where affected then, the point is Telehouse is a disaster
zone and there is way too much UK [and European too] traffic passing through,

Well you are a nutcase for plugging into a MAE ;)

THe point is Telehouse claim this mondo wonderful power resiliance and its
just not true.

FYI: I was standing in the 1st floor ops room and watched everything go off,
YES THATS RIGHT! The management system that Telehouse use went off too!
so they didn't have a clue where the fault was! [eggs basket one springs to
mind].

Cheers,
Neil.
