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 don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
