Default What's happened to eUKhosts legendary uptime?

I've been with EUK now since February and up until the server move I have been bowled over with the reliable service and uptime.

However, since the server move the reliability and uptime does not appear to have been as good.

I have been monitoring my website hosting using siteuptime.com. Using their basic service, which checks the website hosting every half hour there have been 12 occastions during May and June when it has been unable to contact the website hosting.

I appreciate that there is a health warning that should go with the siteuptime.com %age uptime statistic given in the above link:
It only checks the website hosting every half hour, thus one registered outage counts as half an hour when it works out the percentage uptime - which is very inaccurate, as i'm sure that many outages are shorter than this.
However, it is worth noting that on 12 of these half hourly checks the website hosting has been unavailable - and that there may have been many other outages that weren't detected by this half hourly check.

Is there any reason there has been this degradation in service? Are there problems with the new data centre? I'm beginning to wonder if the uptime as dropped below the 99.95% uptime guarantee.
