It affected most of the uk ip traffic, ntl its seems are back up and running, no doubt due to the fact they may have routed traffic through thier own trans atlantic link only. If this is the case and tat-14 is still down expect at the bare minimum 2-4 weeks slowness.

If this is the case, how come I can browse fine using a proxy on a port other than 80, and how come I can grab a full 128KB/s from a US news server?
Its something to do with the transparent caches and DNS, not a fibre link!
