Anyone else had an email from VM:

> We wanted to let you know about some quick work we’re doing on the Virgin Broadband service in your area soon. It’ll help make sure you’re always getting the best service possible.

> The work should take 30 seconds in most cases (or up to 15 minutes in very rare instances) at some point between 3rd and 30th November. During this time, your phone line won’t be affected, but you might notice that your broadband isn’t connecting quite the same as normal for those brief 30 seconds. Hopefully you won’t notice a thing.

or have any idea what it's about. If this has a similar effect to the 
"maintenance work" they did earlier in the year I imagine that the 
connection will cease working completely!

LOL.  Not had that one Alec, and I don't think I want it either.   Do keep 
us updated.

This is a little worrying, it's 18:35 and Speedtest.net just gave a 
speed of 2.36Mb/s instead of the usual .2 to .4. Remains to see if it's 
just a flash in the pan.
