Virginmedia huge outage

Just switched on my TV and all channels are garbled mess, can't even log into my account.

Anyone else affected here?

Yes, it’s national.

Had to resort to Freeview to be able to watch anything (except Mrs Brown’s Boys - I could never be that desperate).

Re: Virginmedia huge outage

Seems to have been fixed just after the final whistle blew at Anfield.

Hmm. Was it a deliberate attack by someone?

All channels were pixelated, rebooted my V6 and things are much clearer now.

Re: Virginmedia huge outage

Apparently it is affecting other providers as well, Sky is also reporting issues.

Re: Virginmedia huge outage

Just seen this, I wondered why the wife was mooching around the house and mumbling

My offline gaming wasn't affected, but I'll accept any refund offered (yeah right, like that's gonna happen)

Take that back!

Putin may be a genocidal war-mongering opponent-murdering megalomaniac, but even he wouldn’t stoop that low…
