Yesterday my dad complained about not being able to access the internet (Virgin), so I went around, and sure enough he couldn't access it.
I tried mine when I got home, and it was fine. When the pc was about to be switched off there was a windows update ready to be installed, which it did before the pc shut down.
This morning I couldn't access the internet either, strange I thought. So I asked my dad if he had done any updates yesterday, to which he replied yes (windows update)
I have now done system restore on both pc's and they are working ok. The update is now showing as ready to update, but I am not going to yet.
Should this type of thing be reported anywhere, and has anyone else experienced this.
Just found this article.

I do yes. I am not going to turn mine to medium though, I will just leave the update, until they have sorted it.

Virgin's service has been on and off over the past couple of weeks. It's a crap service provider!
