Virgin Media Faces Broadband Outage, Customers Left Offline
Virgin Media has encountered a significant broadband outage affecting hundreds of its customers across the UK. Reports indicate that users have been grappling with internet connectivity issues for over 10 hours, leading to a flood of complaints on social media platforms.
Currently, approximately 280 users are reporting problems with their internet service. Many have expressed frustration, particularly those in areas such as Doncaster, where one user noted, “My internet has been down for over 30 hours now and hundreds of customers in Doncaster have no internet service with no end in sight.” The complaint highlights the lack of communication from Virgin Media, with customers receiving no email updates regarding the situation.
Response from Virgin Media
A spokesperson for Virgin Media stated, “There are no national issues with our broadband network today; however, we are aware of a local fibre break that is impacting a very small proportion of our customers.” The spokesperson assured users that technical teams are actively working to resolve the issues and apologized for the inconvenience.
Earlier today, 485 customers reported outages on the outage tracking website Downdetector. Of this group, half were experiencing problems with their landline internet, while 28 percent reported difficulties accessing email services. Just over 20 percent of users faced a total loss of service. Although issues peaked around 07:30, with the number of reports decreasing throughout the day, many users still encountered connectivity problems.
In a previous statement, Virgin Media acknowledged the issue, saying, “Our technical teams have now resolved the issue that was impacting some customers’ broadband services earlier this morning.” Despite this claim, many customers continued to experience difficulties, raising concerns about the reliability of the service.
The ongoing outage serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by broadband providers in maintaining consistent service, especially in the face of unforeseen technical faults. As Virgin Media works to restore full functionality, customers remain hopeful for a swift resolution.
For further updates on this situation, customers are encouraged to check Virgin Media’s official channels or local news sources.
