FML.
I actually had to drive across town to my sisters flat to use wifi.
You seriously don't realise how much you depend on it, until you physicaly cant use it!
Thought i would share my pain 
1. No cars
2. No porn
3. No Call of Duty
4. No eBay (need to flog stuff urgently!)

Bt customers get it for free by signing into it so you could use that Jambo? Providing theres home hubs in your area to give a wifi signal

Apparantly not if it affects a large area (with Virgin anyway). We had some trouble and asked to be reimbursed someway and they said they couldn't due to the fact the whole area was out and not an individual.

if you have an android phone download Barnacle from the market to use your phone as a wifi hotspot, you phone needs to be rooted though
