Virgin Media says internet working as normal amid reports of outages

Virgin Media says its internet service is working as normal, despite reports of an outage. Numerous articles and consumer website uSwitch said that Virgin's broadband was being hit by issues and users were unable to get online. But the company says there is no major outage and that most people should still be able to connect as usual. "Our broadband services are running as normal – there is no national broadband outage affecting our network," a Virgin Media spokesperson said. Confusion around the outage was increased after Virgin Media customers were directed to its service status page.
