If it was your "internet connection" you would contact your ISP - 
Orpheus/TalkTalk in your case, but since Purley is NOT an ISP, its a 
hosting company, you could find out from the twitter feed (which is 
independent of the Purley servers in this case), since you would still 
have interent connection via your ISP - TalkTalk.

It would indeed have been useful if the phone message was available 
sooner.
