Pipex completely gone this morning!

Cannot get to ANY of the pipex network, even through dialip. At least it's
not just me, though!
http://bbs.adslguide.org.uk/showflat...fpart=all&vc=1

Can't find a status line for them anywhere....

The usual one shows nothing -however, I found a link which said that
mail servers are down, due to an "unsuccessful" spam attack - should
be fine for this afternoon, they say.

Could you post this to the adsl board please - I am not a member, and
cannot join as they need to email me a password :-)

cheers

What really pisses me off (though not Pipex fault) is that their
downtime coincided with my attempt to get my router working again
after having to switch off all the power in my house due to an
electrical problem. Sod's law.... an unbelievable coincidence.....
