Good morning Everyone 

I wonder if anyone can offer advice

My ISP has told me the copper ADSL service is being withdrawn, but fibre is not available in my area- New X gate

Has anyone else had this problem, and which ISP for ADSL can you recommend?

(I am with a small ISP, and when I enter my landline on their site, it returns as No Services Available!)

  • NewCrossAntony changed the title to Internet /ISP in SE London

ADSL over copper is obsolete, but until the copper is pulled you should be able to get a partial fibre service FTTC - (fibre to the cabinet) before full fibre to the premises (FTTP) is rolled out by BTs infrastructure subsidiary. If your current supplier doesn't offer this another will, including BT Retail, which may now be trading as EE. 

 

Andrews and Arnold are brilliant https://www.aa.net.uk/. If there's any problems someone picks up the phone on the 2nd or 3rd ring and several times they have rung me immediately after I sent an e-mail. As they are primarily B2B, their support is excellent and there are a lot fewer miscommunications with OpenReach. Go to their website and enter your postcode which will show you exactly what type of broadband is available in your area.

Andrews and Arnold are very expensive - reallly geared up to providing broadband to commercial operations and business , etc.

Just go to uswitch or moneysaving expert websites  and type in your postcode. Some homes are covered by several providers others may have a more limited choice. Most areas in London are well covered. community broad band are a new 'kid on the block' get good reviews and very fair prices, they had a stall in Morrisons for some time and were touting for new busness so must be avaiable in the Peckham area. Unfortunetly not in my road !

You probably have already checked them out, but Virgin Media are often an option. Your ISP won't suggest that, as they can't provide services over them, only Virgin Media themselves can.

Support can be a bit terrible though, but mind you which residential ISP doesn't?

    • There were three vans marked “External Cleaning Contractors” (or words to that effect) outside the Grove Tavern this morning, with blokes who seemed to be looking the place over. Anyone know if it’s going to be scrubbed up? Would this be an end of lease requirement, to hand it back without graffiti and fly posting?
    • the companies issue a phone click on qr code to give you guide price - however, they seem to work more on an algorithim of what works for them, so after a few books, they suddenly go 'no' until they get one they absolutely want - they buy for pence - so you need a lot of books, then they go through them and subjectively tell you the ones which are not up to scratch, but having bought also from the same company, they do not necessarily send out 'good' stock - you must pack them, they give the labels and then they collect.  I think there is room for a more honest competitor, but I am sure it is a difficult business, built on inventory and algorithims rather than buying 'books'.  Would be interested in hearing in more detail about the venture.
    • ecde, what do you mean by outdoor water?   An outside tap?  If so, where's it being fed from?  Presumably from somewhere within the building; maybe somewhere you don't have control of or access to?   Is it meant to be for drinking?
    • You have an opportunity to set up a scheme to buy people's books,do you mean? And you will pay someone a huge amount to be allowed to set up the scheme? I don't understand. Is your final sentence unfinished? I buy a lot of books secondhand. If there's a particular book I want I always google to see if I can get it secondhand first. Quite often the book I get looks virtually new and unread, but much cheaper than if I had bought it new, even at a reduced new price. There are loads of places online with a huge selection of secondhand books. At least one of the websites  sells them via a number of different secondhand booksellers who all apparently  gain potential customers via their search online for a particular book. But I also give away a lot of books, either to friends or to charity shops (especially the Oxfam book shop in Herne Hill).  It would be a huge hassle to send them somewhere like you are suggesting, especially if you have to put in the details first. I suppose at least these days you can easily google to find out if any of them are worth anything. When my dad died, on behalf of the family  I took a carload of his books to Hay on Wye (I lived not far from there at the time) plus some of my old childhood books. They cherrypicked the ones they wanted and wouldn't take most of them, and I strongly suspect I wasn't given anything like they were worth.
