It is not a good time to be a UK broadband customer. Last night Virgin Media suffered a nationwide DNS outage – rendering most of the web inaccessible for its customers.

The outage comes only days after BT customers suffered problems for an agonising three hours on Saturday morning.

Once can be an accident… but twice in one week? Yeah, probably still an accident but let it be known the conspiracy theory started here.
