heya!
i live in poole (next to bournemouth for the non-locals on the board).. and have been affected by the connection problems in southampton lately.
it goes slow... it goes off... and then everything is fine again! i wonder why its taking so long to fix it? maybe a rat got into the server and chewed the wires, and then got electrocuted? and when the technicians arrived, they felt a bit peckish, so they ate the rat... and then they all got food poisoning and are still in hospital so haven't been able to fix anything!
lol this may sound silly, but not impossible!
