Not a good sign.
That's a lot of disruption. :shake:
I gather that Opal had quite a good record before talk talk got hold of them.
There are too many evil empires in the telco world. ;)
Yep good telcos seem to be a rare species.
Our telecomms manager pulls his hair out everytime he rings Opal.
;D
With Cnet saying yet more hackers are going after Sony this weekend as well its all fun and games online :( Life was so much simpler at some point I'm sure, just not sure when that was. ;D
Back in the days of 56K dial-up?

Few botnets then.

Just nets would be ok, fishing preferably, as for bots, leave that to Issac Asimov ;D

Sites look to be back now.

My modem was a sort of brown colour, not red :P
first was a silver one that was taken out by a lightning strike and second (which I still have) was beige.
I'd forgotten the silver ones... a couple of Hayes, one was 2400 baud, the other 9600 baud.
The brown one could equally have been called beige- a USR Courier, 19.2 kbaud when I bought it but updated to 56 kbaud iirc.
I've still got all three upstairs, goodness knows why I keep them as I haven't got a decent computer with a serial port!
Sorry meant rogue dialers.
