Do you think that there is more to it surely Ash G would have mentioned something on .com.

No need for paranoia just yet 'Etc'

All I know is that it is an 'unofficial outage'.

I will update you as all soon as I know more.

Re: .com just gone down?

The message that is on there now is:

Quote:
This site is currently unavailable. ntl:home apologise for any inconvenience caused.

If you are looking for help or assistance on our services, please visit the links below.

For Dial up or Broadband queries:
www.ntlworld.com/help
community.ntl.com

For general ntl service issues:
www.ntlhome.com/talk_to_us/index.html

Alternatively you can email us at www.ntlhome.com/contact.

Nothing to say why it is down or that they hope to get it back up soon and it has been down for quite a while. Surely NTL would have contacted Frank and the mods by now to let them know what is going on.

Looks like they may have finally pulled the plug on .com

Re: .com just gone down?

Etc take it from someone who has been in this situation before, the mods are often the last to know about any changes or outages on .com

Re: .com just gone down?

Dont worry about it, the server is just getting some more RAM fitted to bring it upto 640K, but its been hard fitting the chips into the Amstrad Mobo as the dual floppy drives need removing first.
Hence its down fo a while...lol

That goes without saying.

No it hasn't-about half an hour I would estimate.

Not necessarily.

Gosh yes-they must have done-let's not jump to any conclusions, or come up with any conspiracy theories shall we?

Maybe so OB.

I do not think NTHW will be comming back (in it's old form at least). It's supposition and speculation but it's what I think.

Care for a wager ? Say £10 ?
