anyone on Virgin having problems?

soolin

I'm on Virgin broadband which I think is actually NTL, and can only access MSE and Google, but no other sites at all. I can't even get into Virgin to see if there are any system problems announcements. I can get search info on Google but can't get anything else to open, and I can get the ebay opening page, but nothing else.

Is anyone else having problems or have I broken something?

Thank you, then it is as I feared and I've broken something.

Blast..I really don't need this at all.

I'm also with Virgin and in the evenings the speed seems very slow. Much slower than it used to be. Also, supposed to receive speeds up to 8mb, but if I get 3mb, consider myself lucky.

Have been with Virgin for quite a while now but am considering looking around.

Same here libra. They suppsedly upgraded me to 8MB but sometimes dial up would be faster.

Seems pretty general tonight then. A few weeks ago I did several BT speed tests but haven't phoned Virgin back. Will do some more over the weekend and see whether speeds any better.

I am using Nildram and also finding everything very slow tonight. Thought it was just me.

Think virgins service recently has been very patchy. We were getting aroung 5Mbps, but in recent couple of months we've been getting about 50kbps in the evenings - thats dial up speed. The worst I got was about 20kbps!
I believe virgin have admitted (not to everyone) that they have been having problems.
I contacted virgins help on the web the other day and they just fobbed me off saying "You've probably got interference in the house due to a burnt out phone socket". bla bla bla.
Since then we've had a better connection (about 2Mbps).
If it doesn't get stable soon I'll be moving from virgin.
