It turned out that there was a bug in the router firmware so that it was incorrectly identifying my server as performing a DOS attack on me and so would block all traffic.

It is possible something similar is happening here, either with your router at home or somewhere on the Virgin network.

If everyone posts what make and model their router is, maybe we can find some common factor.
This is not the cause of the problem as the entire eUKhost network becomes inaccessible. If I have an SSH connection open during the outage - SSH still works fine - but everything else is unusuable.
