as of about 2.15pm BST Worldpay went down again....is this how its going to be from now on? They are obviously powerless to stop DDOS attacks. Am I unreasonable or shouldn't they have some way of stopping this happening?

In Worldpay's defense, I think it's quite hard to prevent. An attack like this can come from anywhere so impossible to stop it happening. They just have to try and block the IP address that's causing the attack as it happens.
