Same rhetoric. From Sky website:

"INC2030149 Fibre Broadband problems in BALHAM, SOUTH CLAPHAM, DULWICH andFOREST HILL. You might not be able to get online or make/receive phone calls due to a problem in your local area. We've identified the problem and engineers are on their way to fix it now. We're sorry for any inconvenience caused. We're sorry for any inconvenience caused."

Rodents have chewed through the fibre


This is quite possible, rat incursion into duct is not unknown. Certainly (distantly related) squirrels are a real danger in e.g house lofts when it comes to electrical and comms wiring. Such a widespread and long-run outage is almost always a function of physical damage to networks. Often accidental (JCB damage) sometimes deliberate (remember the copper cable theft in ED a few years ago) - but sometimes caused by rats, which are inquisitive and will chew into anything to see if it's worth eating.

west dulwich as well - been out since last evening. no internet, two kids off school, working from home. nice.

    • I always say if you want to know what life would be like without the NHS get a dog.    we plan to use Mrs Robson next time we have an issue - our dog suddenly developed a limp a couple of months ago and she gave us free fantastic advice over the phone - saved money/time/stress. Hope she doesnt retire soon!  
    • The one on Chesterfield was sold and they increased cost and some of their best staff left with the previous owner, hasn’t been the same since. Shame really
    • I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
