Possibly due to the BT maintenance mentioned in this http://usertools.plus.net/status/archive/1332758911.htm Service Status notice. Work should be complete by 6am.

Thanks! But wouldn't it be helpful to send an email to customers regarding things like this for heads up?
Anyway, do I require a reboot of my router tomorrow? Maybe around 11am as this is the perfect time for a reboot after my last experience rebooting before sunrise cuases a slow speed

If you want to receive email Service Status notifications you can sign up at http://usertools.plus.net/status/email.php.
Your router shouldn't have lost sync with the exchange so a reboot isn't necessary. It should reconnect itself when routing is restored but if it doesn't logging into the router's web interface and clicking Connect is suggested.
