Virgin Media Discussion Thread

Not had any issues since it was restored at 8:17am this morning.

What makes me laugh is VM sent an e mail at 9:47am to say there was an outage in my area and sending engineers then sent another at 12:32pm to say they had found and fixed the issue.

Pointless sending these e mails after the issue was resolved.

Yet they still struggle to inform people of their claimed "Planned Maintenance".

does not surprise me at all, If I had another provider that I could move too I would have.

VM are the only supplier around here otherwise its 40/50mb services (Currently on 350mb)
 
Mine is throwing a wobbler again.

It's weird, I can connect to some sites but not others, or parts of a site but not the rest of it - such as I can watch streamers video on twitch.tv with no issues but I can't connect to the twitch.tv chat interface (just says "connecting to chat").
 
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!
You should never pick one provider over another based on your need for reliability, you should build that reliability by having some backups in place. Either subscribe to a service that includes a 4G/5G failover, have your own plans for tethering your phone if required, or subscribe to a separate 4G/5G connection and use that if your primary fails.
