s anyone having problems with BT at the moment, I have no landline, internet etc. for last 2 3 days coincided with trying to connect to new fibre broadband so thought i?d done something stupid. Anyway rang BT outside fault! Anyone else having problems?


If you are changing over your service I'm afraid that it is all too likely that the fault has appeared as a result of work within a cabinet or other flexibility point to achieve this. If you have seen inside the cabinets you will know they are a mass of wires and connecting points and it is all too easy for work in the cabinet either not to be fully connected, or for connections to be disrupted by other work going on (they are known as working-party faults, and in the 70s accounted for 25% of external local loop faults). Moves by BT over time has been to 'nail-up' the network as much as possible to remove flexibility - as this (whilst clearly of economic benefit) was generating faults.

Sometimes that has happened to me, but it was something temporarily gone amiss with the WiFi connection to my laptop.


It happened again at the weekend. Easily sorted but annoying nevertheless.

  • 2 months later...

I have been with BT at 2 different addresses in East Dulwich. since 1980. 39 years.


Have had virtually uninterupted sevice in all that time.

A couple of outages which were dealt with almost as soon as I discovered them.


In July 1991 access to the Internet was implemented by the BT network

I've been using the that service since 1999 ish 20 years. Maybe a little earlier.

BT Broadband is a very reliable service.


I am getting 56.3Mb/sec Download and 18.16 Mb/ sec Upload which I am happy with.


I worked for The GPO / BT for 26 years. and elsewhere in Telecoms for a further 14 years.

I'm happy to stay with BT.

BT in top three most complained about providers for fixed broadband (for which obviously you need a BT line) and in the top four most complained about for mobiles.


So - fine if nothing goes wrong.


Not fine if something goes wrong and you have to contact their dreaded customer service.

    • Excellent, I hope so!
    • It's certainly a risky strategy, as well as ticking everyone off, the gazunderer risks losing the property and also their costs incurred during the process e.g. legal & survey. It's hard to mitigate against but I always think that if you're desperate to sell, don't ever convey that  to your estate agent, as that info more than likely gets passed on to potential buyers. You should be doing that regardless of whether gazundering is happening or not, as it will affect the offers you receive... That's correct. Some agents have policies in place to 'discourage' gazundering and gazumping, but ultimately it comes down to the morals of the buyer...
    • The owner may not be on this forum. Maybe you should let the police know you have it, in case the owner has reported it as stolen? Also, are you sure the owner hadn't just left it there temporarily while going into their house, or putting their bike away or getting it out? What street was it in?
    • For these places to be good they have to be mega efficient: high volume high speed like the one in Camberwell next to Stormbird.  If you can't hit that sort of tipping point you end up having to cut corners and you enter a sort of death spiral.  The one at the south end of Lordship Lane near Joseph's is fairly hopeless.
