I think that it is just one of those random down times that Virgin Media have on their super-fast optical internets. When this happens to me I curse my housemate for not paying the bill - why else would it be off for days at a time? Then it comes back on, unannounced with my housemate not to blame.

I guess that if you are living in a state of fear, expecting storm troopers through the door at any moment, then you could reasonably presume that the CIA are to blame for one's lack of wifi.

To be honest, I wish it was newsworthy when I spent a day or two offline. But it isn't.
