It was bad enough that our IT Helpdesk (for ~50k users) put up a banner saying Virgin Media were having nationwide problems and that they should be contacted, not IT Support. They only ever do that when the volume gets high enough to detect a pattern, so it wasnt a small outage.

I noticed that some websites were completely unaffected (BBC was fine for example) but AWS hosted sites were inaccessible. All resolved by 10 am though.
