For those affected by the BT landline and internet outage on Peckham Rye east. Update from BT is that, althoguh this was due to be fixed by yesterday end of play it own't be before end of play next MONDAY.


Not only are phones/internet down but the bust stop outside Aura court is closed too - so assume will remain shut until then at least.

Oh no


I always stop for busts, now what am I going to do for entertainment until Monday


Joking aside thank you hpsaucy for the update.

If 'everything' is down, and the repair time is long, the chances are that this is a cable breach, either accidently (i.e. JCB went through it in error) or the result of intentional cable theft. Because each cable is made up of multiple twisted pairs, each of which uniquely connects between the subscriber's end and the exchange equipment, restoration requires each pair to be correctly matched; this is much more complex than mending an electricty cable or gas pipe or water pipe - when just joining back the ends is all this is required to restore 'flow'. Similary damage to a flexibility point (i.e. one of the green cabinets in the street) also required meticulous restoration of each pair. Do you know what has caused this outtage?

Nope - BT were pretty opaque about it on the times we've rung them - but then don't suppose call centre staff often get the teccie view. Seems to be a mixture of fixing and other work going on on the street and also local exchange. That bit of road is often being worked up but various companies...


If anyone's interested - seems to be up and running.

Not sure about the 'bust' stop tho lol.

HI there. Well - when I wrote it I thought so. Ours is on, but different flats in our block (40 Solomon's) have differing experiences. Some still have no internet (some of those with Sky seemingly), some no landline.... Some fiddled around with router cables etc. to get the internet back on.


Guessing yours isn't' then?

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
