Has anyone else been experiencing problems with their Virgin Media internet connection (fibreoptic cable)? We have had no problems with ours for 8 months until 3 weeks ago. We seem to lose connection several times a day now (and get the message "connected with limited access" which really results in no access) when we try to connect. We had someone from the company come down and spend 4 hours trying to fix the problem on Saturday but no improvement yet! According to him, it could be beacuse a lot of people in the area have recently signed up so it's a case of having too many people online at the same time. I don't really buy that!

Reply from TFL: Dear Sir / Madam Thank you for your email. I was interested to read your suggestion to extend bus route 63, and I can appreciate why you feel this change would be beneficial. While there are no current plans to amend the route in the manner you have described, I would like to assure you that we continually monitor the bus network to see if any changes can be made to improve the level of service offered to passengers. The suggestions we receive from passengers are an important part of this process. Please be assured that we make every effort to connect local centres and residential, however, it is not always possible to provide a direct link for every journey or implement all of the suggestions we receive. Ultimately, we have to make sure that we use the resources available to provide services that will benefit the majority of passengers using a route. Your comments will be kept so that they may be taken into consideration when routes 63 and other services in the area are next formally reviewed. Yours sincerely Customer Services

Talking about the Honor Oak Park route, what is wrong with the P4? I have never come across a more unreliable bus in London! I'm almost always late for work nowadays as can spend anything between 15-30 minutes waiting for the bus:o( There is no set schedule and it's just a daily lottery to see if a bus turns up soon after me! I'm off to send another e-mail to TFL.

Great idea! I just sent TFL an e-mail. Fingers & toes crossed- our e-mails will get some attention.

Just had Virgin Media installed a couple of days ago and the service was perfect! I guess it's really a matter of luck. Interesting enough, the guy that did the insatllation had nothing good to say about the company::o

Great recommendations! I am calling Aussie Man and Van right away!

He he he!!! That's completely sold it to me.

That's good to know. We are moving from Islington which I guess is pretty similar. Never lived in the South before so this should be interesting. I love this forum!

Thanks guys! Really looking forward to it...even more so, after your messages!

Moving to Marmora Road in a week. Can anyone tell me what it's like? What are the residents like, is it generally quiet and peaceful etc? Any lovely restaurants nearby? What are the travel links like? Is it safe to walk from Honor Oak Park station at night? Any information will be appreciated!

Good idea! Thanks. I will be moving to East Dulwich next week so clearly have a lot to learn!

Has anyone tried the train to New Cross Gate, then East London line to Canada Water, then one stop to Canary Wharf? It's a money-saving option as only require a Zone 2-3 travel card.
