I'm a Mac user and the browser I mainly use is Safari.
None of VirginMedia's pages at all render on Safari - all come up with an error page. Very odd. All work fine with Firefox.

I get this whenevr i try to enter virginmedia.com:
"Bad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Size of a request header field exceeds server limit."

all works fine on firefox so no big deal, just seems odd.

It should work no problem as we support Safari as a web browser on Apple Mac's.

Sounds like an issue with your copy of Safari and you might be be well advised to re install it.

I have several browsers including the Windows version of Safari on my laptop PC that is running XP Pro as I check websites developed by a friend. I have just checked the VM site on Safari, albeit the Windows version, and can find no issues at all!

Delete all your cookies from Safari, Quit and the restart the browser. Should then work ok

Try resetting safari. Click safari at top left corner and then click reset safari. Click yes or ok on the prompt. VM website should work fine after that. Please note you may lose the bookmarks saved.
