Users on the hotmail service are distributed across 1000's of servers, and while the service seems to work for one user, another may not have access. I'd be willing to bet that at any given point in time, there ae 1000's of users who are not able to access the servies for various reasons.

As the old saying goes, "you get what you pay for".
