nunheadbelle Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 My VirginMedia service has been down since late Sunday afternoon. Not sure if it is due to the weather, but suspect it is. No TV and no broadband today of all days, could have done some work from home but no connection. Thank goodness for my backup plan for emergencies (dial-up internet) and Freeview box from bedroom.Everyone says things about Tiscali, but all the years I was with them, I don't remember them being down like this or at all in fact. I've been with VM for about 3 months and this is the second outtage.Has anyone else had the same problem?

Amelie Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I have had problems with C4 and ITV and Virgin told me it should be repaired by 8am today, but I haven't really had the TV on so I don't know if they made it.

zephyr Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 We are having problems with our TV signal from Virgin - keeps breaking up (sound as well. Never really been a problem before. I called tech support but cannot get an engineer until Friday due to problems in the area with broadband. I am not having to much of a problem with broadband other than it is a little slower than it should be Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5127-virginmedia-tvbroadband-down/#findComment-164459 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadwolf Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I was waiting for that Dulwichmum and you predictably rose to the bait. I read your piece in the telegraph and THAT WAS funny my dear. 'I nearly inhaled my perfectly veneered teeth', Ha ha. You might be minted but you've got a great sense of humour.

nunheadbelle Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 It was back when I came home this evening. I've just had to reconnect all the damned wires as I was using another Freeview box.When I rang this morning, the voice stated that SE15 was affected, previously it was SE18 and various other postcodes. It's back now so I need to keep everything crossed that it stays.I think I'll ring them to claim some kind of compensation, as mentioned by the lady on the telephone who I spoke to on Monday. It was off from Sunday afternoon to this evening (Tuesday).
