There's only so much redundancy you can build in.

It appears it was the power distribution unit lost power - this is the 
last section before your/your ISP's servers so would be difficult to 
build in much more redundancy there.

theregsiter.co.uk have some coverage - it appears that this also hit 
plusnet - I giggled a little when I heard that.
