Lost PPP about an hour ago, anyone else?

Well I was sound asleep at the time but looking at the router log I did have an outage for about an hour and a quarter:

[Internet connected] IP address: <IP Address>, Tuesday, May 31,2011 03:03:22
[Internet disconnected] Tuesday, May 31,2011 01:52:23

Since moving to FTTC I have had far moure outages than I did on ADSL, I'm pleased with the speed and wouldn't want to lose it but a bit more reliability would be good too.

Message:    The Planned Engineering Work is required on the Broadband Nodes within the (LONDON SOUTHBANK) region that support EU's nationwide for completion of (7750 Software Upgrade programme 8). There will be (One) service outage to End-Users of approximately (15) minutes (for each outage or total) within this period. This outage will occur during the outage window of (01:00-06:00) within this PEW Window.

That might account for it Glenn except for the '(15) minutes' part which is garbage just like BT's wretched network.

I find it fairly reliable during the day, maybe one or two outages a month but it's completely useless after midnight. Some weeks it's not uncommon to get an outage every night.
