For anyone in the U.K. currently experiencing issues with their Virgin Media connection, I can confirm that both the Internet and Virgin’s own site are both offline.
Their support line 0844 496 8541 also appears to be having issues probably because of the high call volumes being received. If you are also experiencing these problems drop us a message below with your county / area and how bad the blackout is. Here in Norfolk it is intermittent with Skype disconnecting and reconnecting constantly.
