Virgin internet down: Wifi and network connections stop working amid major outage

Virgin internet has stopped working amid what appears to be a major network outage. Vast numbers of people reported issues with their wifi connections, which appeared to begin just before 10am UK time. Virgin Media's service status page, which allows users to check whether they are affected by any given outage, also appeared to be offline, according to various customers who tried to use it. Problems were reported right across the UK, according to tracking website Down Detector. But Virgin Media said the issue was affecting some parts of London, though not everyone.
