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

    • Well worth a read   https://manchestermill.co.uk/the-men-who-raised-the-flags/
    • If it was limited to a couple of days a year, so we all knew, that would be fine. In the last few years (and it is a recent thing) you get random fireworks going off any time after dusk for half the year. It does more than cause problems for pets and wildlife- it can mean lasting damage and massive expense and hassle for pet owners. All because some get a buzz out of loud bangs.
    • Ohh dear.  Fireworks can be great fun.  Where I used to live the kids would have firework wars/games.  Watching them was more enjoyable than watching  TV. (Which you could hardly hear due to the pops and bangs).  It's not like anyone/anything could stop them. I would still prefer organised public displays that are affordable.   And I agree that fireworks cause problems for wild life, pets and people.   It seems to be one of those things that just happens so we have to put up with it.  But it is still not as problematic here as in other areas in London - that's for sure.
    • I made sure to set off a few today just to rile you guys up 😇😂 Always looking for something to criticise
