It was fine here in Derby until about 5:45. Was watching Spongebob Squarepants on Netflix. The streaming hiccuped but continued for a while then around 6 it failed and the Apple TV couldn't get to NetFlix. Tried Netflix from numerous computers. No joy. Restarted cable modem and router. No joy.

Can get on Origin, Netflix, Speedtest.net or any Virgin Media site. Some sites like BBC iPlauer seem ok but not always. Not DNS as I use Google and they're ok.

Twitter is lit up with people around the UK having issues. Somebody at Virgin Media is having a bad day right now.

it's not proxy related - as far as I know VM don't use proxies anymore like in the ntl days?

Of course they use transparent proxies chief. Trust me.... Routing looks fine to me

what gets me is that they still expect you to pay even when the service is down

I'm fairly confident that it's not proxies due to the impact I'm seeing

I'm in Preston and 99% of sites are working for me. Some are fairly slow though. I've tried sites listed in this thread and all work, was having problems with reddit earlier though.
