It's working for me. Have you tried a different browser?

Re: I cannot get the Virgin Meda home page
 

Ok here.

Re: I cannot get the Virgin Meda home page
 

Yes I have tried Edge and IE 11, I have tried two desktops and on my laptop but still cannot get VM home page.

Re: I cannot get the Virgin Meda home page
 

What's your error message ?

Re: I cannot get the Virgin Meda home page
 

This page can’t be displayed

• Look for the page with your search engine.
• Refresh the page in a few minutes.

I called the status line and it says that they are changing me over to the mail system.
Could that cause not being able to get to the VM home page?

Re: I cannot get the Virgin Meda home page
 

What is the url you're typing?

Re: I cannot get the Virgin Meda home page
 

Haha no.

Can you do a ping and a tracert to virginmedia.com?

(Assuming a windows machine) open the command prompt (Start -> Run -> "cmd" -> OK, OR Start -> type "command" and select "command prompt" when it appears).

On the command prompt, type "ping www.virginmedia.com" without quotes, take a screenshot and post it here.

Then, on the command prompt, type "tracert www.virginmedia.com" and again do a screenshot and post here.

Well it seems your connection is ok. I'm not convinced that Edge and IE11 are different enough, can you try Chrome or Firefox?

Re: I cannot get the Virgin Meda home page
 

They are very different. As different as IE11 is to Chrome.

Re: I cannot get the Virgin Meda home page
 

added infoThe link that I had set up as my home page back in the Win 8 has worked just fine.

I have looked at Chrome and Firefox but it still cannot se the VM home page.

I did call VM and as luck would have I got a UK call centre who gave me a url to take me to the VM web mail page.

https://my.virginmedia.com/home/index

Looked the VM service status page this is the result

" You might have trouble signing into My Virgin Media at the moment.
The problem is almost fixed - our engineers are carrying out their final checks.
