Ours (SE5) has been on and off since last week. Came back again this morning, then down again this afternoon for a while. Has just come back. We were told our TV was 'too far away from the router to pick up the wifi signal', even though it has been in the same place and in the same room as the router for years!
over in Nunhead SE15 we had no Virgin Media broadband Saturday > Sunday morning. On calling 'customer service' I was informed that there was an area fault that will effect speeds and connection. This fault is due to be fixed... December the 25th! Maybe Santa's red suit means he works for Virgin. Apparently this 'fault' which is due to 'high demand' was reported in April. Thats a good 8 months to sort it out. A joke of a company with useless customer service

I utterly detest speaking to Virgin Media.

I was told when I phoned today, they had ?an application issue? and couldn?t test my equipment so phone back in 3-4 hours...

Funny how they?ve had a different story for everyone that phoned today.


Wish I could change provider but have no BT line so trapped with them I think. 😡

I utterly detest Virgin Media also. But sadly no-one else is offering their speeds (admittedly when it's actually working) and won't for some very considerable time. They essentially have a monopoly over genuinely high speed broadband. There was a Hyperoptic van in the neighbourhood the other week and I quickly registered my interest but it seems they're about 3 years away from coming to ED.


Tonight's fix has miraculously doubled our speeds back up to what they were 3 years ago. So I'll no doubt be grinning and bearing my need for VM :-(

Yes with vm but not sure we are actually getting the connection speeds advertised - i am a

Techno dunce so not sure where to begin. My ring doorbell can have a bit of delay which my installer was surprised at ( its very close to the router)


If anyone has a suggested alternative it would be much appreciated. Paying almost ?90 a month

For tv phone and internet - half the tv stations we dont watch!


Thanks all

Hey! It?s almost every network provider. Even 3G and 4g is failing. We called out ISP and they said there?s major works to the network and aim to have it over wiht by October 1st!! And yes it Gowan in and out of connection. That?s for both wifi and 3G/4g. Horrible. Kids are going crazy during free time.

After 9 years with Virgin Media on cable, rising prices, appalling customer service and frequently black outs, we switched back to a phone line in October and Zen internet. Highly recommended. Very stable. Great customer service. Switching was easier than we thought.

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
