Yep: JANET the ac part of uk, which links universities etc was unavailable
on Tuesday (local) time, and disappears for another day later in the month
(can't remember the date, but I think it is a Tuesday again).  Apparently
this is to allow upgrading of line capacity & other features during the 
academic holiday, (when the net should have lower use!).

Hope this clarifies the situation.
