I felt it myself. It bout killed my lil cockatail bird :(
Wasn't very nice feeling.
I have checked local ISP information and customers on Virgin Media.
Lost their internet between 1 am to 6am if you live in the northampton region.
Bt users in the Carle and Mendlesham area lost their internet between 1am and was fixed by 5am.
Hope this information helped.

I was just getting to sleep, and heard my bed knocking against the wall... I thought, hmmm, this is weird, earthquake?

Then, cool! First earthquake I have experienced.



Then, sleep.

It was a really weird feeling... Like someone was standing at the end of my bed, shaking it.

The epicenter was supposed to be in Lincolnshire so that's where you would have felt it the most.
