Virgin Media customers complain of outages across UK

Updated  Virgin Media is seemingly suffering a series of outages accross the country, with aggrieved customers using alternate methods to air their ire at the telco. A number of Virgin's customers have been in contact with us over the past day or so to complain about not receiving the service they have paid for. "All I could get from their customer service was that it was a major outage affecting area 3, which is South London,"  Reg  reader Barry told us. "I can't believe they have not admitted the scale of the problem or offered any apologies never mind compensation on their website." A quick glance at Twitter showed more than the expected volume of outage complaints, with affected areas stretching across the country. Meanwhile, the ever-reliable Down Detector website's heat map of outage reports from across the country made pretty ugly viewing for Virgin employees.

AOE IV and remastered version of the classic original trilogy

Microsoft has revealed a brand new Age of Empires game will be coming to the PC, alongside fully remastered versions of the original trilogy. The company made the announcement at the Gamescom video game conference a day after putting its brand new Xbox console up for pre-order. Often cited as one of the best examples of real-time strategy gaming, the reaction to a new Age of Empires game has been predictably huge. It's the first sequel to the franchise since Age of Empires III came out in 2005.

Was there even any evidence for the UK's A-level exam reforms?

So what has changed?

Virgin Media says End The Awkward now

End The Awkward is back. This year’s Scope campaign is bigger and better than ever – there is nowhere to hide from the awkwardness. A staggering two-thirds of non-disabled people feel awkward around disability. Because they don’t know how to behave, they panic or avoid the situation for fear of doing the wrong thing. Considering that disabled people make up one in five of the British population, that’s a lot of time feeling uncomfortable. A worrying one in five 18-34 year olds told Scope they have actually avoided talking to a disabled person because they weren’t sure how to communicate with them. The knock-on effect? A shocking four-in-ten disabled people told Scope that because of the negative attitudes they face, they have hidden their impairment. This means they may not be getting the support they need at work and they aren’t able to be themselves. So when you meet a disabled person, Scope says Hide. No – not as in hide and seek – but H.I.D.E. Virgin Media Technical
