We've had a report that 186k, which supplies/owns several UK ISP's, have been sending out congestion warning e-mails as follows:

There is a possibility you could be experiencing some congestion issues this morning on our network. This appears to be affecting systems other than just our own, and it is believed to be related to a large Microsoft Windows Update which has become available for automatic download today.

Has anybody else had this? The E-Mail I mean, not so much the issue itself.
 
I did read the same on Aquiss forum plus my friend who uses aquiss had a similar email warning of the microsoft updates on autodownload.

Not always lighter boy some my have more business customers on their network which multiplys the pcs updating.

Example
1 home user possibly upto 3 pcs
1 business could be 4 or more pcs I do know of one who has 10pcs running on an ADSLmax upto 8mb business connection he would have had speed issues with the updating.
 
yes tru but equally not everyone is as clever as we are..
