Star Wars The Old Republic Blocked?

[KountZERO]

Pointing to this topic in VM Gaming forum

http://community.virginmedia.com/t5/Gaming/Is-Virginmedia-blocking-SWTOR-patchserver/m-p/860387/highlight/false#M5401

2 days like this and no resolution. Looks like it will be The Very old Republic before beta testers on VM will get a chance to get back in game.

I just love it when people post evidence to back up there posts, It does make it easier to understand what is happening. :tu:

[Nopanic]

Not sure if that's sarcasm ?

He posted a link to a trace route .. we did the same trace and posted our results to show him it works for us ..

Quite helpful replies really ..

Sorry not had enough coffee when i posted that. It was a bit of a dig at when people come on here and just say VM is crap and never post the info to back up there rant. I have now had some coffee and see why my post did not convey what i meant :LOL:

I think from now on my first post of the day must be made after i have had a drink of coffee to kick start the grey matter first ;)

My avatar is a true likeness of me first thing in a morning honest

[BritAngie]

I'm another person pulling my hair out with the same issue... frustrating as I can't login on the swtor forums to log the problem!! Only been this week it's gone belly up. Please get this sorted soon VM!

[7031]

I don't play SWTOR but I can confirm that tracerts time out and I can't access the website.

Got to be honest it's not very impressive if this is a Virgin issue.

[Lew]

It's not just that site. There are several that I can't get to since Friday evening.

[BritAngie]

Yey all fixed- thank you VM :D

[Chrysalis]

To be fair the linked thread on the VM forums shows evidence of a routing cluster****.

I am lately seeing semi regular routing issues on my VM connection, by far more regular then I have ever seen on other isp's. Usually the issues are within VMs internal network and sometimes its on a border router.

[Martyn]

my connection is crap lately

This problem is back again... :( Can get to swtor but the login page times out again.. I feel like I'm in groundhog day..

[robbojc]

I think you will find the site is experiencing very heavy traffic due to the beta starting this friday and users are having to re do passowrds etc so the site is being hit lots

[kriss215]

can anyone tell me if this is good or bad im having the same issue.
