My Broadband Quality Monitor has 3 red lines on it so far, I will post a picture of today later and it would be interesting if anybody else posts their BBQM graph so we can compare.

I think they've been glitches for quite a few people. Here is my TB meter for my IP address and also another totally different IP address also on Virgin Media.
Now also on the BBC news. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-52448607

My graph looks the same as those posted, went down at 5.30pm, 6.30pm and 7.30pm.

Looks like it's gone down again, well, it has for me

LewisStuart · 27 Apr 2020 at 21:19

Yes, just lost YouTube here

Gone again

Rroff · 27 Apr 2020 at 21:21

Yeah just had to switch connections as my Virgin one has gone again - 5th time and this time not coming back so far after 1-2 minutes.

Since 4pm had 4x ~2 minute drops and sporadically the TV show I was watching would go pixelated for 5-10 seconds even though it didn't drop.

I'd find that hard to believe.

Goes down at about 16mins past for about 10 mins, affecting Virgin Media across Europe it seems

xb8browney · 27 Apr 2020 at 21:57

Some things still work when it goes down.

I was getting total loss of connection - swapped to my BT connection for now.
