    7 hours after it began and internet is still going down. What kind of complete imbeciles do they have working over there? They've also closed all customer lines, they don't care at all. What a joke.

    This has been going on for over a month for me I’d say. All good then green lights flashing for about 10 minutes, no World Wide Web for me, a few times a day. Then back to normal.

    Sort it out, Sir Richard.

    Nothing to do with Richard. Liberty Global lease the Virgin name only. Your ongoing issue is different from the current widespread issue.

    17mins past the hour and it goes tits up. Been doing this since 5:17 this evening.

    If this isn't sorted by morning WFH tomorrow is going to be a disaster.

    Work from home crowd found this already - we weren't all gone off by 17:16 today! Quite frustrating and it'll be a huge issue for millions tomorrow and likely a huge issue already for those in South America on different time zones.

    A lot of trouble tomorrow for WFH if not fixed.

    If I was to hazard a guess, Virgin like any good IT company, have relied on one lad to do one important task, that Virgin themselves have no idea how important it is and have failed to have it documented or trained someone else up on it. Now that person has either gone seriously sick or walked. Now this important task has come back to bite them on the arse :pac:

    Major attack underway on Liberty Global's broadband infrastructure according to Twitter. Outages worldwide.

    All I see is the eagle eyed noticing it's occurring at 17 minutes past the hour.

    Nothing about an attack. It would not be acknowledged anyway if it were.

    Yep. My friends cousins brothers dog walkers baristas flatmate knows someone who was behind the attack. Cos that’s just a more exciting theory than an actual technical fault.

    Could they not just unplug it and then plug it back in...because that's what their f**king "engineers" tell me to do when I ring them with problems.
