A large number of Virgin Media customers briefly lost their television connection in Dublin, ahead of the Ireland versus England Six Nations rugby match. On Saturday afternoon, an error message interrupted Virgin Media customers television screens stating their signal box “had lost connection”. The group do not yet know how many Virgin Media customers lost their television connection, or the exact locations affected. In response to the social media storm, Virgin Media tweeted: “We’re aware some customers are not seeing channels at present and we’re on it! In a follow-up tweet at 2.25pm Virgin Media said: “Everyone should now be back up and running :) Enjoy the match!”
