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

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
