    Is it the HMRC webiste itself that you cannot access or the online gateway?

    I can access both so I assume it's not a fault at HMRC's end.

    May be a DNS problem at Virgin's end then.

    Can you get some websites?

    It's either a DNS issue with Virgin or perhaps Virgin's proxy server playing up. You used to be able to use a different proxy server with Virgin but don't know if you still can as I moved away from Virgin.

    I had this problem at the w/end ... I 'phoned the HMRC 'help desk'
    ... it took a long time for anyone to answer the 'phone, but eventually a member of staff told me that they were experiencing problems as a result of the vast number of people accessing the website at the same time, in a bid to meet the SA submission deadline (ie: nothing to do with Virgin, or whatever). I tried yesterday and managed to access the site OK.

    Are you sure? Virgin's broadband apparently had problems last night.

    Virgin Media has claimed that problems with its broadband service in the UK have been "resolved", after the firm suffered a major national outage yesterday evening (January 17).
