I'm on O2 and had no problems. A couple said 'failed retry?' but most went through first time even at midnight.

Right, so networks should invest what would be 100's of £m's to make sure the network can cope on 1 night out of 365, then pass that cost onto the end user.

Great idea

Totally irrelevant, a cell receiving a 999 call will disconnect other traffic to take the emergency call, plus taking your bomb theory, the networks close down their network to be used only by emergency services and the gov, as seen on the day of the london bombings

not quite correct, voice and data are two different things, sms messages are sent over an SDCCH channel, this is set by the operator depending on their chosen matrix.
