What's The Deal With The Downtime, Egg?

Years ago, my internet bank of choice was Egg. High interest rates on savings, and then later I did an offset mortgage with them. But Cahoot later gave much better rates, so I moved most of my banking over there. Now my mortgage has shifted to Intelligent Finance, so I wanted to move some of my money in my offset account from Egg to If. But going in on Sunday morning, I discovered none of my accounts were accessible. Well, it was the weekend and a one-off thing, I figured. But just now I tried to access my accounts, and I can't log in at all. No one can:

Unfortunately, our site is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later or select one of the options below.

Monday at 8pm, and I can't access my accounts? That's like prime time for internet banking. Can't say I'm sorry to see the back of Egg. And for my American readers, the glory of offset mortgages will come in a future post.
