It was both the landline and over the O2 edge network. Really odd that the over the air network would be out if it was just an isp issue.

It's nice isn't it? You can relax and get on with doing all the constructive useful things you did before the internet was invented :-)

I did make myself a coffee during the time and play a bit of brick breaker on the blackberry, whilst my collegue waited on the phone to speak with the ISP

If your backberry is hooked up to your company email server, you will (in theory) surf the internet via the company Internet link!! So if that's down your BB;s internet will also be down!
