That's correct although I believe the exchange was affected as well.

Yes I see what you mean and you are probably correct.
Although with the increasing number of devices seeking an internet connection some people, who previously wouldn't have bothered, are becoming quite clued up on creating and running their own home networks.
It is at this juncture that the shortcomings (the 10/100 ports and indecipherable interface of the sky hub for example) of inferior ISP supplied devices become apparent and folks start to look for something better, only to find their ISP doesn't want to know and they have to jump through hoops or settle for a double nat solution.
