Some time back the UK's Daily Telegraph carried an article sayng the net
was "string and brown paper", meaning easily breakable - and possibly
easily patched up. These two articles (links below) refer to an incident
a few days ago that would have interfered with reaching some websites.
The chances of it happening again seem high.
If you can fnd time to read these two short articles it will give you an
understanding of the problem. sometimes, when you have difficulties, it
may not be your end, but this, or something like it. Planning and
campaigns should always take account of these possibilities.
