Just spoken to Virgin and there's a "utilisation outage" in the Bellenden area that started at 7.15pm on 27 April and is due to be fixed by the 24th... OF SEPTEMBER. FFS.


This is likely to affect up to 250 properties and is the result of human error. Despite this, Virgin Service Status still shows "No known issues" for broadband. My router speed data shows issues since 16 April and with no broadband at all the last few days. On top of this we have a weak line apparently too but getting an engineer round on Friday.


Besides Virgin's website breaking down a lot this week (if they can't even run a website, no wonder they can't provide reliable broadband), strongly advise anyone to avoid the text 'service', it's a total waste of (a lot of) time.


The only good news is that Openreach will be installing here fibre soon (can't get more than 2Mb/s on the phone line).

Anyone on Bellenden Road that has good BT fibre - we're about to move across from Virgin as we've had enough of the issues of constant drop outs (been going on for over a year now), the recent outages have been the last straw.


Bt have said they have fibre available in the area but just interested to see if anyone on Bellenden / Choumert / Chadwick has it and if it performs well


thanks all

    • Helen and Steve did an incredible job transforming our garden (erecting a new fence, building decking, laying a new lawn and planting). Helen is very thoughtful and helped to prepare a detailed plan ahead of the work starting aligned to what we wanted and within our budget. The team worked quickly and efficiently and were incredibly polite and professional throughout. Everything was carried out to such a high standard and I couldn’t be happier with the result - we have got so much enjoyment from the garden since then. Highly recommend!
    • Silly question, but have you reported this elsewhere as well as on here? Eg passport office, banks (if there are bank cards), police? Because if someone is carrying around their passport (assuming it's theirs) they must be pretty devastated if they have lost it, and it's fairly unlikely they will see this post, though fingers crossed.
    • * Big, sick & tired sigh * Ok, so here is this year's small selection of Gala litter that has been left behind. I have to emphasise, it is only a small part of what is still there, collected on Tuesday from a relatively small area in the south of the ex-site. I also have to emphasise this only took about an hour of slow wandering, using only my eyes & hands - no specialist equipment, and I'm not a paid employee of a specialist waste management company. And to confirm, this is after "The site was checked at the end of GALA’s tenancy and found to be clear of event-related litter" by the Council / Parks Dept. There's 488 items there, many of which would be potentially hazardous to children, pets & wildlife. Not least the small bag in the bottom left corner, still containing a suspicious white substance. I'm hoping to pass this on to the police for testing, ensuring it is recorded for the purposes of next year's licence consideration.  Please - before anyone posts any comments defending this, denying it is festival related, insulting me, whatever - just go and have a close look yourself, particularly where the tents, stages & toilets were sited. It's obviously from the festival, and there's still loads of it there, all over our park. It is literally being trashed, year after year, despite repeated assurances from the organisers.  I'm sick of it, it's just so depressing.
    • Ah, ok. I only glanced at it,  and obviously didn't properly read even the tiny bit I glanced at 🤣 Sorry!
