Looks like I spoke too soon. This is the first time I've managed to connect to the net all day. NTL reckons there's a problem with the cabling outside, but it could be 48 hours before an engineer even gets round to phoning us to make a time to examine everything! What am I going to do?!?!?!? I'd better post this before the connection disappears again.

Coincidences, eh? Awful things.
