Glasgow G72 area is slow, really slow.. Called a friend who lives two miles away(also virgin customer) and his broadband is the same.

Re: Has VM HQ been taken out by Putin?
 

Web browsing it slow and my Xbox One is running slow, both are wired.

Xbox One upload is: 3.85Mb but with Latency 283ms

Upload is normally around 11.xxMb and Latency is normally 1xxms on Xbox One, online is running really slow.
I am in the Lincoln area

Still totally dead here in Southampton. I have danced round my Shub thrice widdershins whilst sacrificing a chicken to the great Sir Clive (naked, of course [that' me naked, not Sir Clive, just to be clear {that' Sir Clive Sinclair I mean, just so there's no doubt}]) and still no joy. Can I interest anyone in putting together a wicker effigy of Babbage and sticking Branson in it (that's Charl... [SNIP! Ed.])?

Haven't had any problems this evening - Greater Manchester area. Someone said there was a fire somewhere at one of their places? Not sure how true it is as I would have thought it would have been picked up by media.

Im having issues here in Teesside TS18 area.
Browsing is fine, VM website intermittent, but streaming anything or large downloads are really really slow or stuttering and buffering all the time 100mb internet connection as well.

SA1 in Swansea was also out for 3hrs.

Re: Has VM HQ been taken out by Putin?
 

A high fibre count cable, most of which was in use, was cut by Openreach contractors in Gloucestershire. It handled a bunch of more local connectivity alongside regional and core links, one of which was between Cardiff and Birmingham.

The fibre was repaired: broken bit removed, new fibre installed and fusion spliced into existing fibre.

I'm sure VM will be investigating why the fibre break had such profound effects. There shouldn't be a single point of failure or a single place where a fibre cut can cause such issues however this happens to everyone from BT downwards. Records of fibre routes are imperfect.

For what it's worth...

Re: Has VM HQ been taken out by Putin?
 

it must have been a west side of the country thing. I am in the east and had no probs at all last night. I was gaming quite happily while all this was happening and didn't notice a thing.

Re: Has VM HQ been taken out by Putin?
 

West side? I'm dead in the centre of the south coast and I suffered all of the outage.Even so it is an unusual occurrence these days.
