Has anyone else had issues getting onto Yahoo the past week or so? At least twice a day I get this message: ' Can't talk now. System's down. Sorry for the holdup. Looks like a temporary glitch in our network has part of Yahoo! mail down, so you're briefly without service. Rest assured the alarms are blaring in the basement and our team is working frantically to get you up and running ASAP. Again, the snag is on our end  so there's no need for you to do a thing. Yahoo! Mail Team ' How annoying!!!!!!!!!! :angry:

OK first of all I wasnt sure whether to post this up in the Steam Room of Tech area of the forum, but I figured since I have solved the issues (as far as I can do) then I would post it up in here. Unfortunatly I dont live in a cable area, which for a tech head like myself is a real annoyance. Therefore I have to put up with the usual ADSA (comes through your phoneline for non tech folk) in which I get the usual "Up to 8mb" rubbish they say from sky. Now over the past few week we have been having a few issues with our connection occasionally going offline, and going offline everytime when the telephone rings.
