A fibre beak in the Gloucester area which are affecting Virgin Media provided Circuits are also affecting the Cardiff to Birmingham core Link. Engineers are currently on site working on the repair, it is a major incident and we have been advised that work will continue through the night with no current estimated time of repair.

Anything working for yours? Just had a notification from work saying they are seeing monitoring for some of the circuits on virgin back to normal but have still been unable to get hold of virgin for an official root cause over the phone, only what's on various websites
Yeah because pumping £3billion into a network is running it cheaply?!!
Anybodies fibres can be damaged at any time, all it takes is one careless backhoe operator and you're staring down the barrel of a major outage.

£3billion is nothing.
Transatlantic cables from the UK to the USA cost a fortune to build hence why Virgin Media has significantly higher latency than the theoretical 65ms to the East Coast.

I notice you removed your bit about transatlantic cables costing £10billion!!
Couple of hundred million would be more realistic valuation
£3 billion invested into the network infrastructure in this country is a lot of money to try and drag the speeds and coverage of high speed broadband up to a more acceptable level.

Hi guys, my friend has asked me to post in here for him regarding his new virgin router.
He received everything yesterday and has just setup his router but hasn't switched it on, phoned the automatic service to activate and then powered on his router, this was at 11am this morning, and he still has no internet connection coming down through his line.
He has his Virgin Tivo box connected to the same input via a splitter, this is working fine, signal strength is good, demand etc all working fine.
Isn't it normally an hour or so for the connection to become live? He wants to try some things himself before phoning back again, he has turned it off a few times but to no avail, any ideas? All the equipment is brand new so i don't think it is the hardware.

Hi guys, I'm having some issues with my Superhub 2ac router surprise surprise. The wireless sucks, so i got some homeplugs for one part of the house. But i was thinking, the wireless signal from my old Linksys WRT54gl worked fine, is it possible to set up the superhub so that it emits the 5ghz signal, whereas the 2.4ghz signal goes through the old Linksys router?
