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

    • I hope it's ok to use this thread to ask for advice on a separate issue in relation to TJ Medical Practice. A friend of mine who is registered there has recently been diagnosed with a serious long-term condition. He has been struggling to find a good GP at the practice since the departure of Dr Love and I said I would try to find out which of the remaining GPs other patients have found most capable and sympathetic - particularly for the scenario of overseeing ongoing care for a long-term progressive illness. Is there any particular GP that people would recommend?  Very many thanks.
    • I,m not a fan of Gales; but a lot of food serving premises open on Xmas day , so not unusual, worked in catering for nearly 40 years and staff usually get extra pay… My niece who is in her last year of college & wants to go travelling next summer, is waitressing in a restaurant near where she lives on Xmas day & Boxing Day for £20 per hour to boost her travelling fund. Back in the day I worked New Year’s Day 2000, & had my pay bumped to £50 per hour, happy days (wasn’t forced I volunteered)
    • Hardly strange; arcane perhaps. It used to be a common practice in many towns for the swings, roundabouts etc in parks to be chained up by the council on Sundays, so that they didn’t provide a source of reckless pleasure on the sabbath. The outrage that a cake shop should open on Christmas Day reminded me of this. The policy had pretty much died out in England and Wales by the 70’s but is still in force in parts of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
    • I would be interested to learn if Gail's hike their prices on Christmas day. I don't go to Gail's (as I prefer Christophers on HM Lane) but if anyone does go and detects a bit of price gouging, please let us all know.
