Virgin Media Broadband Problem

[mini_nick]

Anyone else experiencing speed problems with Virgin Media? I can get on here fine, it works quickly as usual, however (ironically) the virgin media site barely loads, the bbc site barely works and a handful of other sites. Yet Google works as normal! Very odd!

Having problems here too. Some sites are working as normal and other sites won't even load. Very strange.

Can't get onto hotmail/microsoft here. But I've been having speed/connection problems here for weeks so it's no surprise tbh.

Glad its not just me then, iplayer wont work either. I tried calling 150 on my virgin home phone and it says number not recognised, even though on the virgin site it tells me to call that number! What a load of horse s**t!

Same for me too. Kicked me off from xbox live at about 1730hrs. Had browsing problems since. Had to use Personal Hotspot on my iPhone for a site earlier as my BB wouldn't load it.

Is this just a Virgin issue though? People on BT are apparently having similar issues.

My Twitter is working, and just seen this appear:

Virgin Media @virginmedia
We are aware of a network issue affecting some customers' broadband service. Investigations are underway; we hope to have service back asap.

Ive been doing the same with my iphone, I eventually got on the virgin media service checker and it says the broadband is fine... obviously not! Im hoping this gets sorted soon!

 

[Plummer]

Yup all of the above for me too!
Booted me off the xbox, and only a handfull of sites work.

Customer Care number keeps telling me 'Call Not Allowed'

i would rather have Broadband which works instead of a speed increase! Nice to see a Virgin advert on tv just now explaining how they have the fastest broadband in the uk

 

[Mr Pants]

In their defence, it usually is a very good service with rare issues.

Hopefully will be sorted sooner than later though.

Agreed! Although it would be nice to have it back working ASAP!

Same problem here in Nottingham.

I wish I knew it was a problem with their service before I started resetting my router.

Our teamspeak server has gone down for anyone outside of the virgin network, but i cannot ping to another virgin host which is very weird

 

[Mr Pants]

Back to normal I think!

 

[mini_nick]

Yep back to normal now it seems!

 

[sbridgey]

Still broken for me

 

[BoatNonce]

Mine's fixed - didn't help that the router was playing up at the time.

Apparently a national outage!
