Likewise.

I have been in touch with Neil by e-mail: I suggested that a
newsgroup would have been more suitable - Plusnet certainly
used to do this, not sure if they still do.

He says that "The reason we chose Twitter is that its very
easy to post updates using a mobile device which means it
works anywhere with 3G reception. 

For newsgroup access, I would need access to a PC.

One of the issues we had at the weekend was I had no
internet access for much of the weekend, which made it very
difficult to understand the nature of the issue, and post
updates."

He also admitted that he should have put on a suitable
answerphone message before Sunday evening.

I would have thought that if one has mobile internet access,
then one can post to a newsgroup, though perhaps marginally
more hassle than tweeting?

I have now bookmarked
http://mobile.twitter.com/purleyhosting which should mean
that I do not need to use it ever again.
