Hey all,
Thought I'd register, been a lurker for a while and thought this a good time to show myself and say I'm having trouble too, in Swindon.
regards.

hopefully it will get sorted soon. Although if its anything like 02 when some nice kids set fire to one of their main masts it will take a few days

Even tried getting on VM's webpage while doing an adsl package check, and "site is having problems" sign pops up also lol... and here was me thinking i may just upgrade my adsl package with them....i'll think again now.

Must be one humdinger of an outage to effect so much, over such an extensive area.

Just wondering how many 9 month old e-mails i'll be getting in my inbox tonight :)

Did take me buy surprise, when i get an invoice paid mail...erkkk thought someone had hacked into my bank account hahaha then i seen the date..doh feb 2009 for items i recieved then.

Apparently VM have major problems with their backbone in the south and east that is affecting mail and internet.

A spokesman told The Register the power problems were at a former NTL site in Winnersh, Berkshire.

Rang India this morning as I had no broad band at all, was put through all the hoops for 45 minutes and then transferred to the UK where I was told that all the systems at Virgin had gone down and they could do nothing until after 12 pm and to ring back after then.

Broadband is back but no email.
