End of civilisation as we know it #1

I've had unlimited internet at home since spring 2000, and vdsl broadband since autumn 2000 (the people who were offering the unlimited dial-up deal were losing a pile of money so they ended it and L wanted people to, you know, be able to use the phone for other things!)

So it's painful for us at the moment - our ISP has various DNS and routing problems, so we can no longer just look things up online or expect email to come and go instantly...
