Can't reach 18866 or 1899 sites? Is it just me?

I'm getting (in Firefox browser)
"The connection was refused when attempting to contact www.call.1899.co.uk"
and similar for 18866.
In Internet Explorer I get
"we can't find www.call1899.co.uk"
Is it just me?
Had a recent broadband regrade and wondered if that had caused a problem. I am able to access a lot of other sites with no problem.
Thanks.

Say no to 0870!
1) Both sites have been down since last night.
2) There has been an article in the Guardian.
3) There were some security concerns from other members.
Related? High demand?
Meanwhile I cannot test/tell whether my dialler has been configured correctly.
Sorry for starting a new thread, didn't see the other one.
What was article in Guardian?
Ta very much, is there any need to panic yet?
If you put '18866' or '1899' in the forum search field it brings up a list.
The article in the Guardian was not a bad report, it just publicised the service to all and sundry!
What is there to panic about?
Andy, 'Postpaid' yes, but by noncancelable credit card regular payment. Still, not to worry yet!!
