| Re: Virgin ISP, anyone else having probs? I have a Virgin email account (although I haven't used them as my ISP since dial-up days - shh!  ), and got and sent email fine a few hours ago?

| Re: Virgin ISP, anyone else having probs? Had some Virgin email probs on Wednesday and Thursday. Main difficulty was receiving incoming mail promptly - several were delayed by over 12 hours! Seems ok now. Also received an email from Virgin saying they will be carrying out some 'improvements' next week on my broadband and there will be loss of service for 'a couple of hours'. Hope it's not as long as yours! Edit: Just had a look at the non-cable service status. Seems to have been probs with email and backlog being cleared. https://gps.virgin.net/service-announcements/status/ Last edited by westerdam2; 12-10-2008 at 22:41. |
