Yes spoke to them this morning and their engineers are looking into it but we were told one would be out to us on Wednesday which my wife flipped at as our son has his leaving ceremony then so she rang them back and they will try and sort it out over the network but when by I'm not sure

Hi all,


We are on copleston road and have the same issue. No TV or broadband. Called Virgin to explain that I believe this may be an area issue, rather than just specific to me but this fell on deaf ears. Engineer coming on wednesday apparently. If anyone else affected can log a fault then maybe we might get an engineer out to the local exchange today.


Thanks all

I had problems on Friday night through to Saturday morning. They blamed a power failure that totally wiped out the user settings of my router. Had to re-do the full set up as if I was a new customer. We are still virgin national ADSL customers. Virgin won't replace our hardware as we are 3 years out of contract with them and they keep urging me to take out fibre optic. We are about to move house and I told them I will never be back to them for broadband. We have never got our advertised speeds, not even close, running around 3-9mbps when promised 30-50mbps+ in our area. The technical side drives me mad, distant indian call centre, very quiet down the phone line. We've had all the wiring changed along the front of our flat due to wear which meant we spent weeks running at barely 2mbps, for this I was offered ?5 compensation which then increased my bill, I complained again and got ?10 off the next months bill. I hate them, such shoddy service and slow repairs!

    • Another great job from Leon - sorted a consumer unit and EICR for me last minute. Highly recommend 
    • Admin, please move this if it's in the wrong section. Can anybody recommend a reasonably local dietician (or possibly nutritionist? Not sure what the difference is). My GP has suggested I see a dietician, but there isn't one attached to the practice. I have googled, but it's very hard to tell what people may be like from an online description, and I want somebody who is properly qualified. Alternatively, please PM me if you know of people I should avoid! Thanks x
    • A vet might be able to trace its owners if it's chipped. Also I believe twb who posts on here has a mobile scanner. Poor cat.
    • If you look at the application linked to in the OP, you'll see it's a Licensing Act 2003 one, in this case for the purposes of sale by retail of alcohol and for the provision of late night refreshment: "TAKEAWAY COFFEE/ HOT SNACKS 2300-0100". IF the shop counts as a Hot Food Takeaway, then section P48 of the Southwark Plan https://www.southwark.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2024-09/Southwark Plan 2022 reduced 1.pdf , which appears to be the latest one linked to on Southwark's site, will I presume be applied in any  planning application (Is there one?). It says: "New hot food takeaways will only be permitted where: ..... 3. The proposed location is further than 400 metres from any existing or proposed primary or secondary school’s boundary; ....." It incorporates  policy laid down in the National Planning Policy Framework, and thence the London Plan.  Over the years KFC, and others, have taken a  number of appeals against local planning authority decisions on Takeaways to the Planning Inspectorate.  Some have been allowed.  KFCs 'commentary on evidence contained in London Plan Topic Paper: Hot Food Takeaways', https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/nlp_ad_91.pdf may be of interest to some. I'm guessing it's referring to https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/london_plan_topic_paper_on_hot_food_takeaways.pdf of 2018, but haven't yet checked.
