Default Virgin Media line went down.

For some odd reason my Virgin Media connection went down. But the phoneline still stayed up. I know their on different lines.
It just randomly went down and 20 mins later its back up and running.
Odddd.

it certainly isn't odd where i am lol,they always going down.not be to bad lately though.

.................................................. .......................

i seen them this morning doing some work,they had large spools of cable out & had a few grates lifted. What would they have been at,do they replace their cable lines on a regular basis or something? May be it something to do with this new broadband comeing out. THe connection in the area was fine though while they were working.

I dont think they replace a line unless its f**ked.

And there was no one to be seen. It was just random.
