To good to be true, but it is. From the Tele Danmark (ISP) homepage,
translated from Danish.
>This morning, Tele Denmark Internet was out of order, because the power
>supply failed. It meant that customer couldn't connect to the Internet.
>
>The problem occu[r]red at 7:45, when a truck drove into the cabinet that
>supplies Tele Denmark Internet with power. The truck was delivering a new
>uninterruptible power supply, and therefore the old UPS had been
disconnected.
>At 9:00 the power returned and the different system began to reestablish,
and
>everything is expected to return to normal again by 10:30. Tele Denmark
>Internet regrets the disturbance to its customers.
