It looks like they have merged the 2 previous faults (1 for outgoing mail & 1 for incoming mail) into 1 fault report. As mentioned earlier, it makes it appear as though the problem has only occured today. Sneaky.

It's still not clear (to me) what the problem is. According to the Service Status page, it's a "technical fault", but according to the "ntlworld email" link on ntl's home page, it is being caused by a virus attack on the network.

I don't know how ntl define a "technical fault", but I've always assumed it to mean something electronic, like a blown chip, burnt out resistor etc.
