Anyone else having Virgin problems? We've lost both TV and fibre Internet and their help server isn't responding. Is there a large outage?

First significant fault in over twenty years...

You've got to be joking?

Virgin use to be great until somewhere around 2002*ish... Got worse and worse since.

Nope, always been utterly brilliant for me... Sounds like a local network problem then frown

Got to agree with the cat. It was great 5 years ago but utter rubbish these days, and they have the nerve to increase the price quarterly.

I'm currently getting a monthly discount because mine is so bad.

My first thought too. Disappointed. OP, you need to atone.

Can virgins 'come out?'
Do you they have an awkward chat with their parents... Er, Mum, Dad, I need to tell you something.

We had a "problem" at half term, no 'net or TV.
They were rubbish at sorting it, where previously they have been excellent at sorting issues. It took so long to sort, wife was on the verge of cancelling and going back to Sky, until when they finally got to us to sort it, when we were embarrassed to find that MrsVX had cut through the cable while gardening!

No TV here in Cheshire since Friday night. Luckily the internet has been fine (touch wood as work from home!)

Called Virgin yesterday, engineer can't come until tomorrow night due to them all being booked out
