It’s a shame @Virgin only look after new customers & punish old customers. One less customer because of New Cystomer deals not available to look after current ones #ShameOnYou #Virgin #Virginmedia

@unsliced @virginmedia One strand of fibre cable can transfer a lot of data. When they talk about a cable it’s going to have multiple strands so it can carry even more. It sucks that it’s down, but repairing fibre is not trivial.

@unsliced @virginmedia Sure, but no internet provider has a completely dual redundant system, if they did we’d never see any outages. You can mitigate certain issues with redundancy, but “cut the cord” in the wrong place and you’ll have an issue.
