Service status page reckons that there was work done early this morning; and apparently early yesterday morning.

Admittedly i guess i am a blithering idiot for even bothering to read that page; but i guess i am a sucker for it.

Now whilst my speedtest crawls in another window i'll keep typing, i sense i have a minute or two to spare..... and i am not going to call anyone liars, and i am not going to say anything regarding the obvious nonesense on the service status pag.....

Can anybody smell burning underwear? Time to call customer services and offer them my UPTO 34.99 per month price plan methinks.
