I am with virgin and am having the same problems. Been ongoing for over a month. An engineer called and changed the box internally but said they would have to check outside wiring. Sadly he didnt nbother to arrange for this works to be done. Virgin said they would not be able to do this until 17th of this month. Am on and off intermittently but no one at virgin has mentioned a major problem to me. Will get back on to them.

Had this a few months ago, Virgin arranged an engineer a few times to come over and i had to leave work early to find him cancel last minute etc etc, was a drag and in fact the resolution was not what he did in the house it was 'something done elsewhere, outside' so Pardeep on the helpline advised me.

When it's working it's grand, so hopefully yours will be fixed soon and you can get back to normal usage..

We have had intermittent problems with ours. We had nothing for 24 hours the week before last and on and off for some time before that and now still very slow at times. We had an engineer booked to come and change our box when it went down completely but then it came back to life so it wasn't necessary.

We've been having problems too but touch wood things have been better for the past 48 hours. It's interesting that some people have been told by virgin that the problem was with their boxes as when I rang I was told there was a major technical fault in the area ( was almost relieved as meant i wouln't have to sit in and wait for an engineer).

I'm just about to switch from BT to a Sky broadband and talk package - ?26 p.m. unlimited downloads and free anytime calls to 01/02/03 numbers, line rental included in the price. The sales guy was really laid back, not at all pushy - so far so good. Will report back once it's up and running.

Thanks everyone - yes - I have been told two different stories - first - major fault in area and second - some kind of power supply issue and an engineer coming tomorrow to sort it. I did a little research and apparently there is a fault in the area - hence posting here - Anyway - engineer tomorrow but I think I will likely switch - thanks for all the feedback - xs

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
    • Thanks tedfudge, great news, well done!!! 🦆😊
    • Just an update  The ducklings were picked up by a lady from an animal sanctuary Sussex,  hopefully they have a good life ahead of them
    • We had one that projected stars and played lullabies. It was a soft toy bee with a hard plastic back. I know we used it but can’t recall how effective it was.  What was brilliant was the Lulla sleep doll which has a heart beat sound. That was a critical sleep aid for the first couple of years.
