Hi guys,

Having major connection problems (using a flitwick/Luton UBR - MK 45 postcode) where as some sites are almost unusable (DNS's OK but then is really slow at bringing in contant uto the point of timing out on some sites) where others such as CF are perfectly fine.

Even the VM site is giving me problems...

Is this happening to anyone else? Can someone check the status reports for me on the VM site for any problems in the area..

This has been going on for the last hour..

Same with me and I am in Luton. Many US websites time out, most UK ones very slow to load.

MSN / Gmail notifier not working either.

I can't check the Virgin status page as it times out. Great.

ThanX Steve, at least I now know that it's not my connection.

Come on someone check the status pages for us :)

Same here. This page took about 5 minutes to load :P

Just checked the status page - nothing there. (nothing national anyway)

try load several time it's generate push and eventually it will open as Virgin use the proxy servers.

Same here (50meg) in SE London. Most sites not working, and the ones that do are extreemly slow. However inbound connections to my cameras from outside works fine.

I see pooper beat me to it for the service pages. I have also checked on VM newsgroups and no one seems to have logged a similar problem. There were similar issues being reported a few days ago in the Luton area which are shown as having been resolved on 11/09/09.

can be temporary fixed...

My modem is flashing the "Ready" light and generated very unusual subnet mask 255.255.254.0 (normally 255.255.255.0), some websites are fixed and some so slow or dead...

Hard to find the number when it's on the same website as the status that you can;t get ;)

Will remember though now it's in this thread :D
