Internet not working for epic games & Twitch

Hi Virgin 

Since  October 22nd epic games (fortnite console game) & Twitch will not connect to the internet.. We can connect via are 5G mobile network (different company) but it refuses on virgins access. We have rest are Hub multiple times but this doesn't work..

other customers are complaining on this forum & other social media platforms, please sort this out it’s unacceptable its been going on this long with no official statement from Virgin. 

  • Hi @StevenRS200

    Welcome to our community forums and thank you for your first post. Sorry to hear you are having issues accessing Epic Games and Twitch. We want to do our best to look into this issue for you. Can you let us know if this happens on both wired and wireless devices? Is there a specific error message/code you get when trying to connect to the internet?

    Thanks,

      Good Evening, Can I reply as I have the same issue. It happens on both wired and wireless. I can get epic/ twitch and also Hayu as that does not allow me to login either to work if I run a vpn but as soon as turn vpn off it stops them all working again

    Make sure "Child Safe" is disabled in the VM Online Account.

        Hey Krisomufc, thank you for reaching out and I am sorry to hear you are struggling to connect to certain games.

        Which games are these, is it Fortnight?

        We don't and wouldn't block these games, what issues / error messages is he getting?
