My comment, as well as others, is that a 'lot of channels' are down - not that they are all down.
As for progress being a 'wait and see' operation, on that basis nothing would actually be done! If it's meant that we can't do anything but wait, then what's the point of a forum designed for communication. My comments were meant to support others in confirming there is a problem, in the hope it would be dealt with and not just watched until it somehow fixed itself.
I appreciate that nobody here has any control over it but I understand that some have the ear of those that do!
