It seems that Virgin Media (being such a reliable company) is partly off-line yet again. It's either that or someone has managed to bring down some big sites like Google and Yahoo. In fact, this place in one of the few sites which will still load for me.

*touch wood*

Works fine for me.

It's just my ISP who is useless then

Get a decent ISP

What' isp do you use?

Google wasn't loading for me late last night as well as live.com

I've been having problems as well , even with trying to get forums on vforums.

BT > Any

BT>Excessively expensive.

Virgin are always having problems, it's got worse and worse since they took over from NTL.

I havnt had any real problems, I notice once in a great while VForums forums go down for a few seconds, but when you refresh it comes back, and YouTube video's stop and do not buffer. If you have AT&T in the UK You should try their service. They are really not that expensive we pay something like $80 or $100, but thats for Express. Basic is like 20 something, Which it is slow.

That's the ISP I have

I'd love to switch to someone else but since BT helpful came and cut down our telephone line we've got no choice but to stick with Virgin or pay £100 to have a new telephone line put up

I know run off of Wi Fi ^_^

That's the problem I have, finding somewhere else to go. I went: NTL - BT - NTL/Virgin Media

When I went back to NTL after BT, the engineer said BT had fiddled with the line box, which legally they're not supposed to do, he wasn't very pleased to say the least.

I don't know about Tiscali, are they any good? (Although again your cut phonline could be an issue)

I've not heard many good things about Tiscali - a few friends are with them and they've had a fair few problems. I'm with Orange (formerly Wanadoo, formerly Freeserve) and they've been pretty good
