Re: virgin internet down in newark area
ish dude. I am in Lincoln and have just woke up. I am getting full speed but it is very sluggish and webpages are taking a few secs to load. MSN wouldn't connect first 2 tries and I still can't get into hotmail. Something dodgy is a foot.

Re: virgin internet down in newark area
downforeveryone says the site is working and I can get to the mobile site from my phone. Also connects OK from my Talktalk backup system.
Finger out please Virginmedia..

Re: virgin internet down in newark area
I'm in south Sheffield & can't get into any MS site, having issues with some US sites though not all, phoned VM & they aren't yet aware of any issues, there is another guy in the official Virgin Media site with the same problems with msn.com etc.

Re: virgin internet down in newark area
ebuyer.com still fails in LN1.
dns lookup succeeds in ping tool but reports 100% packet loss.
Something is seriously borked methinks.

Same here no ebuyer.com, also some PC mag sites I frequent are broken or partially broken (pcadvisor.co.uk) Others are having the same problems on the official Virgin Forum with MS sites

I have this problem too with Microsoft sites.
Broadband here has been in complete disarray since last Thursday !! even tho service status reported 'good' every time we looked. I spent several hours on the phone to CS, and was told they won't guarantee it's fully back in operation until Wednesday (been promised 5 days credit on the bill).
Internet working this morning, but can't use Microsoft Live Messenger, and can't access any other MS sites either (except I have been able to get Hotmail).
Just tried, and I cant access ebuyer either.

Re: virgin internet down in newark area
I can get straight to ebuyer via my private tunnel VPN but still not in the normal way. Ditto outlook.com
