Of course what that does not tell us is how long it took to be fixed each time.
Quite often it would show up again very shortly after it was "fixed".
As you so rightly say Neil this does not account for the times e-mail failed but was never flagged up on the status page.
So if you divide the figure up it would mean that e-mail failed once every week for last year.
I appreciate of course that some months were worse than others but it did fail every month in 2003.
If NTL think that is a good service then heaven help us if ever it was to get bad.
So...

56 divided by 52 (weeks in a year) equates to 1.07 (roughly! ), so by my reckoning ntl's email service failed once per week on average last year (at least)

What an absolute disgrace.
