At least now I know why there’s no cable internet anymore. It’s been about 30 hours since it went down, and I’ve got an actual answer. It seems that Transco are responsible. They’ve been digging up the main road about 500 yards away to lay new gas mains. In the process, they’ve cut into a bundle of fibre optics and killed Internet and Cable TV for the area. The trench in the road is spewing precious data and there’s no way to harvest it. Telewest also have zero idea how to resolve the issue, or at least, how to resolve the issue tonight.

Bollocks.

At least I’m reading my books. It can’t all be bad.
