Virgin Media has issued a stark warning to its customers about a looming four-day internet outage that could leave thousands without connectivity. The broadband giant has flagged potential disruptions as it carries out essential upgrades to its network infrastructure.
When Will the Outage Happen?
The service interruptions are expected to roll out in phases starting next week, with some areas experiencing downtime between Monday and Thursday. Virgin Media has assured users that the upgrades are necessary to improve overall network performance and speed.
Are You Affected?
Customers in select regions will receive direct notifications via email or text message if their service is likely to be impacted. The company has also set up an online checker where users can input their postcode to see if their area is included in the maintenance schedule.
How to Stay Connected
For those affected, Virgin Media recommends:
- Using mobile data as a backup
- Downloading essential files in advance
- Planning work or entertainment around the outage window
The company has apologised for any inconvenience and emphasised that the upgrades will ultimately deliver faster, more reliable broadband to customers once completed.
