Best internet providers??

Recommended Posts

I'm in SE22 but very close to SE23 - we have BT Infinity and for us it has been a rock solid service - we had a 2 hour network down last year but that's pretty much been it. Is there any chance that a neighbour has their wireless system on the same channel as you? What you describe could be a symptom of clashing wireless channels. Our BT router has a "select the best channel" option which we run occasionally. Apologies if you've already done all of this and it is a BT problem, but I thought I would mention just in case.
Absolutely NOT Virgin. The service has been oversubscribed for as long as we have been signed up. We barely get a reliable connection and have to restart SO many times a day, and the customer service, although good, is unapologetic. Have just started an Ombudsman complaint over their contact failure to deliver.
I've used Talktalk for years. Customer service is mediocre - terrible but the service is generally good (so don't have to contact them) and good value, certainly compared to BT or Sky. I've heard good things about Plusnet, if you just want broadband i.e not bothered about TV offerings etc.

I'm on BT infinity near ED station and it's great. Not a single problem.


Where you live is an important factor in the quality of your internet as well. Generally, the closer you are to a cabinet and phone exchange the better.


Might be worth checking what your neighbours are using or just keep switching providers until you find a good one.

Frequent router restarts - in my experience - aren't related to service reliability, it's just because the router (or "super hub", or whatever they like to call it) keeps crapping out. I upgraded to a better quality router, and now I never have to restart at all. Worth bearing in mind... although of course, it shouldn't be necessary.

As others have said it sounds like the problem may be with your wifi, not your provider who gets the internet as far as the router (as it were). Have you got the latest router (home hub) from BT?


We're on BT Infinity and it's essentially solid since we moved in 8 years ago, occasionally upstairs in the house other people's wifi gets in the way but that's not BT's fault.

    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them
