Virgin Media Discussion Thread

Just before I left to work tried restarting everything to fix, not knowing that VM was having issues

 

[Trox]

Same issues for me, although (hopefully) it’s cleared. I really don’t want to have to head into the office this morning

Had a load of issues through the night as our circuit in the office is with them but it seems to be back up as of 5/10mins ago, same with my home connection.

Was missing my Hyperoptic this morning, but seems to be a bit more stable at the moment. I mean, had to swap to 4G to do my morning youtube binge with my breakfast. Won't someone thing of the children

I always like looking at the prefixes die.

Yea I can suddenly connect to my Ring again.

We've got a bunch of people working from home using Virgin Media. Well, they're trying to work from home.

For most people their connections seem completely dead but for a couple we've switched them to using Google DNS and they're back up and running.

 

[squerble]

We also have quite a few WFH people who now appear to be coming back online (and very glad they don't need to come in ).

Mine went again for a few minutes just now, but back again.

Mine and my parent's connections today. They just had a small blip which we didn't have

I heard it was more a Cloudflare issue, not googled anything further myself yet.

 

[Caged]

Nothing to do with Cloudflare, we had ethernet services that use Virgin Media as a wholesale provider go down, it was a big one

People do love getting into a flap over a few hours without 8nternet.

Id imagine 90% of people were asleep in the hours it was down.

Indeed

However it's more the ChuckleVision of Virgin Media services.

For those that work from home yes, why wouldn't they get in a flap?

Not many work from home before 8am.

I find VM reliable. The odd rare outage is really nothing to get so worked up about.

The services didn't restore until 10am fully.

Really stupid question but I’m looking for some advice.

Moving into a new house in a month or so, during the walk around I found this virgin media outlet.

How exactly do I connect both a router and tv box to this outlet?! It looks like it one has one input?

I was thinking about moving from BT to Virgin to get their 1GB broadband. But my livelihood depends on a reliable internet connection and this has put me off!
