I work for a company which is across the road from the Manchester Internet Peering point. We have a 45Mbit and 100Mbit connections into the Internet. Today both our ISP's failed within minutes of each other. Since then we have seen parts of our international network going up and down all day. It has been stable for the last few hours and working fine, but apparently one of the major network centers lost UPS power earlier today and routing table loops have been occurring all across the UK as engineers try and work around these missing routes. I don't know if this is related to NTL's problems, but I know that NTL do peer in Manchester and a few other of the affected points on the UK Internet.
