Apparently Virgin have a service issue nationally. It affects TV and phone lines.

At the moment Sky Sports is NOT working ! 
 

Not a stressful day at all !

This is the current view I can get of the tennis.

Not a SKY issue; it’s your service provider

Very good. Well done.

I put it on to prove a point. The point is proven. Sky Sports is working.

I refer you to my previous post ... "panic fanny".

Sorry for posting facts

Virgin Media are rip off merchants; had to use them in my London flat and when I moved they wouldn’t let me cancel the contract even though they could not provide a service in my new place

I fucking hope the hotel hasn't got virgin media then.

And yes Virgin Media are proper bandits.

Reports suggesting should be resolved by 4 but that is relying on VM   !

 

I am with them as they do cable and charge about £60 per month for all channels ( movies and sport) plus phone and broadband. 
 

Thought worth highlighting it was down. Always the premium channels that are most affected. Homes Under the Hammer was fine.

Have them for broadband as speed wise they are the best in our area and everyone else is dog shit 

Contract about to run out and they offer a new one at a higher rate or we can continue at the current rate as a rolling month, so stay as is 

They then offer a new contract lower than the original one, by about £15, so taking into account the increases they will do during the contract it's still cheaper

I like virgin media

Same here. And like Sanchez I'm also on O2. I went to BRSK a South African company now taken over by Youfibre. No complaints so far and cheap as chips, also gave me £100 on a card and a further £50 when I recommend anyone else to sign up.

I didn't do anything 

They just emailed me with the offer

Sky are the next best in terms of speed but after that everyone else is awful 

If I search for WiFi on my phone virgin routers pick up from neighbours 

They missed a trick

£14.99 for 24hrs access isn't a disaster
