    Surrey KT10: Limited access to streaming services and some mail servers outside virgin’s own.

    Amazon S3 services are not accessible for Oregon (W-1/2/3).
    Netflix Server groups 1 and 3 not accessible. Server 2 accessible, but that does not deliver content.

    iPlayer in browser is accessible, but servers for device apps (SmartTV, Android, iThings) are not.

    Any the final irony, Virgin’s faults page is down. LMFAO!

  • Dmitry D

    Btw, pritty satisfied with the broadband speed and tv, but this particular issues going to be the the longest since joined to VM in Sep 2016 already tried everthing standard that VM suggests and they can do.

    No TV and broadband service in NW9 area since afternoon. Have called them several times and waited for more than hour to speak to someoneand earlier they can get someone out is on Monday. The online service status don’t show any issues. Very terrible service to the least…….

  • Rose

    No services – broadband, phone or tv in area 21 since 31/01. And my virginmedia checks don’t even register this fact. I was told will need to wait until Monday for an engineer- 5 days! I work from home and this is truly unacceptable. Terrible service.

    Now 3 weeks experiencing no internet connection with Virgin Media Broadband, a specialy peak times. Got internet connection night time when everyone in my area sleeping. Phone Virgin Media , they blame my cable in the house. So my cable like Dracula, works at night and sleeps at daytime.
    Moving internet supplyer ASAP.

  • Waqqas Awan

  • Gordon Horton

    On checking internet download speeds been deliberately throttled all day. I pay for 200Mbps and haven’t gotten over 30Mbps all day. It’s regularly well over 200. At some stages it’s been as low as 2Mbps. It’s just not acceptable. Fed bogus excuses by customer support.

  • Sue

    My internet connection has gone down 325 today and is still off in the BL3 area

  • Kevin Appleton

    Well quarter past five on Christmas day and still no Internet from virgin media, these guys really believe in extracting the urine! Price up, service down.

  • Kevin Appleton
