I didn't realise my thread would get this bad. The fault seemed to of been effecting people in the North West, it said on 151. Mine seems fine at the moment but it went down yesterday night.
It wasn't a bad idea on the face of it, but as all the techies and VM employees in this thread have been saying since it began, it was based on a false assumption.

When your modem ready light goes off, all the modem is saying is 'I'm not ready' ... effectively 'something's not working'. It is no more likely that you can identify a nationwide fault by cataloguing instances of this failure, than you could infer a nationwide outbreak of tyre-slashing just because every branch of Kwik-Fit from Land's End to John O'Groats fixed a handful of punctures today.
