I'm on the 10MB Virgin Media service and have been unable to get a Windows Messenger connection... is anyone else having problems?

All my other internet activity **seems** ok and I have checked the service status of MSN.

Yep having the same problem too guys, thank F**K i thought it was just me!
I cant even get access to my hotmail by going to msn.com and clicking on hotmail, must be a server problem?
So who do we thinks to blame microsoft or virgin?

Im on msn, and have been since about 2.30pm, but I can't sign in on any pc anymore. I don't want to sign out on my pc incase it wont log back in again!

I have seen people sign off tonight but not sign on. I have about 15 contacts online instead of the usual 30-40ish.

Sounds like part of the server that allows logins has gone down, but the msn service itself is still up, hence some people like me are still signed in.

I managed to sign in earlier this evening but I stupidly switched off the computer so now I can't login. :(

Why doesn't the service status (http://messenger.msn.com/Status.aspx) say anything about it?

msn had taken there service down due to a system's error. Only way to fix it, was to take msn offline.. dont ask me how i know. a birdy told me :D

I checked this last night.. The main NS server (messenger.hotmail.com:1863) was rejecting connections & wasn't telling the clients to transfer to another NS server to continue the logon.

Bring back P7 :p Damn P14 sucks ass..
