I googled their reviews. You are right, they do have a significant number of complaints, although overall they get over four stars. Their customer service made some useful suggestions to somebody with connection issues - I wondered if you had seen this response? -
The information given in detail here is about the area from East Dulwich Road northwards, and seems reasonably helpful and well thought out. It appears, however, to be the first part of a bigger plan. The text “Our plans include restricting access on the east side of Peckham Rye Park by introducing a new ‘bus gate’. This would restrict general traffic except for buses, cycles and service vehicles (e.g. bin lorries)” suggests that all traffic coming from the Cheltenham Road area will have to go elsewhere, presumably increasing dramatically the traffic on Colyton Road and Peckham Rye West. That would be alarming. Am I misunderstanding this? Have they misunderstood the meaning of Peckham Rye Park, when they are actually referring to the north section of Peckham Rye Common? (It wouldn’t be the first time, if so.) -
How on earth can the council spare the staff to go out and remove dog poo every time it is reported? Where are these people based? Just the travelling time there and back must take up a fair chunk of their day. This mess is all over the place. If people keep reporting it, the council workers would scarcely have got back to their base before they had to go out again and remove another pile! Cushy job! Maybe this is the answer. Keep reporting it, and someone with half a brain cell at the council will realise that it is far more cost effective to bring back the bins and just have someone make a trip round all of them as required to empty them. This does of course depend on why the bins were removed in the first place. Were dog owners actually using them? It seems to me that the people letting their dogs poo (I really don't know why we can't use the c or s words) on the pavement or in the gutter probably wouldn't be bothered to use the bins either, plus you could hardly have a bin on every street. I don't know what the answer is. There are many many dogs in East Dulwich now. Maybe have some sort of test for prospective dog owners, like a driving test, before they are allowed to have a dog. To include picking up and proper training, including recall. Sadly that is obviously not feasible, and never going to happen.

I wasn't trying to be funny! I wasn't clear what you meant. Of course I know where the South Bank is! You said "I am along Southbank way and calls keep being disconnected". As I then said, I didn't know if you meant where you lived (I have no idea where you live, or if there is some road round here called Southbank Way which I hadn't heard of) or whether it was somewhere you were temporarily. I googled Libra and nothing comes up re phones, only astrology 😂 Do you mean Lebara? They piggyback off Vodafone. If they piggybacked off Three I imagine you would have exactly the same problems as you are having now (I'm assuming it isn't a problem with your phone) so there wouldn't be much point in changing! I will have a look at the iD website, however people who are happy with a service (like me, in this case) generally don't go onto a company's website to praise them, only if they have cause to complain. That isn't to say that there may not be a problem with iD, but some sort of independent comparison (I don't know if Which have investigated) would be a better way of finding out. Anyway, I hope you have better results with your new provider. When my brother lived in East Dulwich, he and his family had to switch from Vodafone when they moved within the area, because they got no mobile signal at all in their new flat and had to go up the street to make phone calls. Hopefully you will have a better experience!!!
