how come NTLs seem to fail together? are they connected to the same cable segment or something? wouldnt it make sense for them to be phisically seperate ( perhaps different ends of the country? )
or am i missing something?

An NTL spokeswoman told The Register that because of knock-on effects users still experienced problems when traffic was re-routed (see NTL status page here).
Put under extra pressure, NTL's DNS servers failed, she said. That meant users were unable to log onto Web sites using their host name, even though the sites were reachable to users who knew their IP address.
Email and other services were hosed for the same reason.

Yeah right-it was that cable that's been causing the ntl mail server problems for the last 8 or so months was it?
