I saw other reports saying "Fire in London data centre" and I've often heard Maidenhead and Reading based data centres being described as "London" too. Claranet has(had?) a point of presence out in Reading (basically a network node where leased lines and *DSL stuff could connect to into our infrastructure). Some international customers found out and insisted they wanted to host servers there as it was a cheaper "London" data centre, but were baffled why we told them it would always ensure it would take 2+ hours to get someone hands on there from our actual London data centres in the Docklands.
