Google Positions = Gone

Well, I was only small really, but I was getting a bit of Google traffic (1k-2k) a day, but I am now removed from Google as a result of my host. I tried to stick it out with them intially (when they kept telling me it would be online in a matter of hours, but than after realising about 24+ hours later that it was not going to be on anytime soon I signed up at another host.

On my part, I didn't have all my sites backed up, and some of most important sites had just had some pretty big changes, so being under the impression that they would be online any hour, I told my new host to wait before he could transfer the whole account when the intial host came back online. After some more hours waiting, and a DNS change which prohibited me from getting any site online anyway, I went to bed, after talking to both hosts and being assured it would be sorted by morning.

Anyway, I woke up this morning to find all my Google ranks have gone. I guess it is a lesson learnt, but I am wondering what will Google do? When will they return my positions - will it be quicker than usual, or will I still have to wait a few weeks to actually get back there. Anyway, I am pissed. Oh yeah, and the intial host is still down.
