[Virgin Media has crashed this morning,
leaving users across the UK unable to
access their emails.


According to Down Detector,
the problems started at about 06:45 BST,
and are affecting customers across the UK.

While the reason for the outage remains unclear,
of those who experienced issues,
83 per cent said they were having problems
with their emails. ]

[Virgin teams are working to resolve the problem
as quickly as possible, and we apologise for
the inconvenience caused.'

So far, more than 1,300 issues have been logged
on Down Detector, while many users have taken
to Twitter to voice their complaints.

'What's going on with email? Can't send or receive
on any devices or seem to log into email via the
web page either?' one user wrote.

Another added: 'What's going on with emails.
Can't seem to be receiving or sending any.

'Changed password and everything
but won't now connect.
Been like it since last night. Seriously.']

[Virgin Media has apologised to users of its
email services after long-running problems stopped
some users accessing inboxes or sending messages.


Some customers were still reporting problems
on social media 36 hours after initial reports of issues.

Virgin Media email is no longer available to new customers,
but many existing customers still rely on it for work.

The company said restoring access was a priority.

"We apologise again to those individuals who have been
experiencing issues with their email services,"
Virgin Media said.

Problems were first reported on Monday morning
and continued into Tuesday. A steady stream of over
800 reports were submitted to the
website Downdetector since 08:00 BST Tuesday.]

[A user in Cambridgeshire - who contacted the
BBC but did not wish to be named - said she had
lost access to her emails.
Her husband died recently and the loss of access
to email was "a complete and utter nightmare".


"It has been unbelievably stressful and upsetting.
My email is my lifeline.
I'm the executor of his will and therefore,
for the last few months, I've been back
and forth with emails.]

Virgin email down for 5 days now.

["I understand things can go wrong,
but we are paying lots for this service and to
have had no communication from them is
really bad customer service.

"We are so reliant on the internet these days
for everything. I have two teenage boys and
they have been unable to do their homework online.

"I have been with them for years,
but I will be changing to another provider because
of how poor the customer service has been."]

The USA Owner Global Liberty of VirginMedia
has reused to pay for the old ntl world
and others upgrade.

Virgin Users have to use Gmail or others for their pop3
now.

I mean if you go with Virgin [anything] and expect it to work well, you're in for a bad time.

Yes on this
USA Owners Liberty Global
left it for weeks
Going on UK TV news saying they are working to fix it
but in fact, their UK Boss knew
no funding was going forward.

So all those old Email groups,
Virgin Media took on, are dead


Setting up a new Email
Like Gmail or Yahoo mail
is the only safe pop3 you can have
