I'm just on the welsh border, and I've not seen any issues reported - my
home ADSL is up, our office connectivity (in the Welsh valleys) is up, and
customer networks in Wales are up.

Sounds like it's a more localised problem.

For those that don't know, Wales is a relatively small constituent
country of the United Kingdom (size-wise, it is 'about the size of
Wales'):

  <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_size_of_Wales&gt;

Small as it is, it has a number of different internet providers using
ADSL, cable, leased lines and DWDM. For it to be on NANOG, I assume
there is reason to believe the outage is widespread and your buddy has
already contacted their Internet Service Provider? For what is is
worth, I'm not seeing any outages to the academic sites in Wales.

Or maybe there has been a bit of storm which has blown it 3,500 miles
to the west. If it has, please look after it, especially mid-Wales
and North Wales, they really are quite beautiful. :slight_smile:

Best regards,
Rob

I think my parents are still on plus.net, and I was on our multi hour video chat when this question was posed, so I'm pretty sure Cardiff ADSL was ok :slight_smile:

Hello Marc,

it is not an accent. It is a language.
In fact most welsh do pronounce english
better than either the londoners or the
oxford people do.

Welsh is kind of a catalan for the gaelic like
catalan is for latin.

Cheers
Peter and Karin

OT and all but there will be a linguistic and cultural application for Welsh in 2009/2010, using the 2004/2005 linguistic and cultural application for Catalan.

Not to be confused with New South Wales (where Sydney is), which is a
state of Australia (and I'm assuming, looks like the southern part of
Wales, but newer, or did a couple of hundred years ago). I'm in South
Australia though, which, despite the name, doesn't actually cover all of
the south of Australia. If it did, there would be no New South Wales or
Victoria, or part of Western Australia (which does actually cover
pretty much the western part of Australia).
