Still no connection this morning. This has to be the worst outage I have ever experienced - and I've been with Freeserve since the dial up days. Transferred to Wanadoo when they were bought out , and then onto Orange when Wanadoo were bought out.
Wrote a formal complaint to ISPA, and also informed the parent company, France Telecom.
The only France Telecom email address I could find was on this page.
