Coinciding with a huge upsurge in spam hitting ntl's servers. Plus, it's the summer hols. Untended spammed inboxes fill up, bounces soak up bandwidth, etc etc.
At a guess, I'd say all the endless "service poor due to maintenance" messages on the status page can be ignored as, well, lies. They don't have the capacity to deal with the spam they're attracting, and they don't have a strategy for dealing with the fact.
Or if they do, I'd like to know what it is.
