Which would take more than a couple of hours*.....

*and we only have about 300 servers, couple of hundred core and edge network pieces of kit, and 4,500 PC's - the opportunity to screw up (worse) four million customers broadband links is probably the reason they don't put out "quick fixes" - imho.....
