Virgin Media customers complain of outages across UK

Plunn

How on earth can anyone tell. the service is so bad and laggy. Maybe someone's realised how easy it is to DoS the Hub 3 (Sorry just can't bring myself to write Sup*** Hub) as its a steaming pile of Intel Puma 6 based crap.

So wish I could go back to my Hub 1 :(

Virgin Media only adds another 127,000 homes to Project Lightning

Perhaps signups are not as expected as potential customers are not wanting a cable modem that opens them up to a DoS attack or being the point of a botnet as well a being laggy as hell for anything real-time.

Virgin and Intel continue to sweep this under the carpet and role out these models that are full of vulnerabilities without warning customers. All this and Virgin are increasing prices in November. The upside is that the price increase opens a window to leave them, there is a clause in the contract.

Not just in the US. I'm a UK Shield tablet user in the UK. Purchased from Amazon at Christmas and I have the dodgy battery. Now advised not to use it and it will be 2-4 weeks for a replacement.
