PSA: suckweasels strike again

My website and email are currently offline due, as best I can tell, to some sort of upstream routing issue at the ISP. From the pattern of failure - existing connections remain functional, new connections can't establish - I'm guessing someone's poked about on a router and messed up the ACLs. Or maybe a router is in the process of dying horribly. I'd call the tech support/customer care line, but they only operate from 8 to 8 on normal working days, and today's a bank holiday. THANK YOU ESAT BT.

update: service restored at approx 5:39pm

update to update: and then my webserver spontaneously rebooted.
