Virgin Media Connectivity Issues

Last updated: Wed Sep 30 10:25

We are aware that staff and students using Virgin Media to access UofG systems from home may experience: 

  • very slow internet speeds
  • issues trying to connect to VPN
  • pages loading incorrectly

This is a known issue and appears to be affecting a number of University VPN services across the UK. The UK academic network provider is currently liaising with Virgin Media to get this investigated and resolved as soon as possible.

If you are affected by this issue, you can access UofG systems using our virtual desktop service, the Glasgow Anywhere Desktop (GAD). Log in with your UofG email address and password.
