Yes, mine came back after an hour or so.

Strange that I could still receive incoming calls during this 'outage'
period. Anyone care to explain that?

It's most likely that voip.co.uk use a large system built from many
interconnected components, so a failure of one component won't necessarily
result in total loss of service, just a loss of the service that component
provides. And a 'component' could be anything from a patch cable to a 7ft
rack full of servers.
