Just got off the phone with Jacob from Nexpoint, apparently they had a core router just drop on them, they are bringing it back up now, he said hopefully 15-20 for a full service restoration however it might drop again if the reason it dropped means they need to do some sort of update etc etc.

Well it could be, as they don't know why it went down.... yet.

By the sounds of what jacob said, it was a dDOS attack the braught the router down, didnt stop on the phone long to double check as i imagine hes really busy at the moment. Hopefully they will get it sorted fairly quickly, but at the moment jacob has not ETA.

It appears up for me now, but it's a tad slow.
