Re: email problems.
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.

Re: email problems.
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

Re: email problems.
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.

Re: email problems.
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.
