It says it was an accident. I don't know how these things work, but it's a very specific accident. I wouldn't be surprised if they were testing the water, their network is dying at the moment as it can't cope with demand.

Indeed. To 'accidentally' block one website is an oversight, and bad enough at that. To 'accidentally' block not just Rapidshare but Megaupload too? Something fishy's going on... As far as I was aware though, the DOCSIS 3 platform (as used for 50 megs) has tons of capacity.
 
if you’re a Virgin Media customer, you can still access Rapidshare by replacing ‘http://’ with ‘https://’ in the site address.

Apparently they have blocked Megaupload as well. I'm at my GF at the moment, got Virgin back in the house, I will check it out myself when I get in. :)
 
This happened to with Sky a while back (Sky max) I ended up using openDNS servers it it worked then.

I rang them and they said they dont block any sites but when I tried later it magically worked again. I had downloaded a fair amount of stuff before it stopped working.

I know this isnt much help but maybe it will do the same for VM. I was with VM a couple of years ago and their customer service was terrible so moved to Sky. Sky is much better (TV and Net - 20mb max and I connect at 18mb, download is 2mb/s)
 
just had an hour where they where down ....couldn't connect to the internet at all , reseted modem , router tried everything i gave up , went out came back it started to work . they are seriously starting to **** me off. (it was virgins fault because the cable indicator was not showing on the modem .)
