O2 outage! What's going on?

[Farside]

There was filthy weather blowing a gale here on Wed night, so I wasn't too surprised when t'internet went down. Oddly, I was still getting data from file-sharing, but nothing else, and the signal strength was up and down like a yo-yo.
I'd actually read about the O2 outage a couple of hours earlier, but didn't pay it any attention, but now I realise there may have been a knock-on effect here because 3 Ireland bought over the 02 structure and have been using it all over the place. I noticed my phone commonly hooks into an O2 signal instead of 3, but that never happens on the internet service (at least, not that it tells me).
Anyway, after a couple of hours I decided to try moving from 3's DNS service to Open DNS and the internet service suddenly returned. Might just have been co-incidence, but now I'm not so sure. I've had trouble with 3's DNS server before, and it was only that I'd recently put this modem into use that I left it at the defaults.

Government won't do anything about it, wouldn't be conducive with their cushy directorships when they leave office (or while currently in office as a lot are) .

True, but they did promise

And there is the problem, there are people who still believe they dont speak with forked tongues.

Tesco have announced they are adding, in January, 2gb free data.

We must be close to the P lock......on an O2 thread.
