It's not normal service. However I've seen a couple of other similar
reports elsewhere (from people using different modems and platforms) and
I've had a few similar faults from the end of last week through the
weekend. They only occurred at peak times, so at a guess it's been down
to an unusually high load related to the news problems.

This message is unfortunately platform specific, does it appear after
dialling and before the login prompts? If so it is the same problem...
