Yeah - that 100GB I never use but pay for came in useful for once :) Work phone has 5GB and I suppose technically once that's gone you could ask your employer for more or work offline.


A home line is not a business line and is not guaranteed the same levels of support - I'd expect an office circuit (pt2pt or ia) to be back up in hours or a day at most - home broadband has much lower levels of service guarantee.

Yep...been using mobile hot spot since started early this morning becuase of virgin. I'm guessing that once you go over a certain amount of data on your phone your account moves down in priority even if you're happy to pay for extra MB's....as all of a sudden about 30mins ago it's basically unusable....even edf takes a while to load up!

Problems with VM in SE15 for last few days - so why does their online service status page say no issues? Does the company that promised lightening fast speed rely on pigeon post to update their status page??

Thankful for this forum!


VM mobile broadband going slow too now for those foolish enough to place all eggs in one basket :(

ed_pete how did you find out about this?


There's still nothing on the VM service status page for me if I log in, is there for anyone else? Where you given a reference number. Can't face going through its 'help'line.


Apparently the reason cable broadband is so unreliable around ED is that there's so much 1st generation cable equipment. It's been cobbled together with newer stuff so it takes engineers ages to find out where on the network the faults are.

Mine's been down since this morning. Origianally was showing expected fix at 16:00, now showing 10.05 tomorow morning.

Went into office to work :-(


After the prblems following my "upgrade" to the Hub 3 I think it is time to change to a provide that may have lower advertised speeds but is more reliable and whose wifi router has a range of more than 3 meters!

      Fake barbers

      I watched this BBC expose on the news a week or so ago and wasn’t surprised at what they found although ii’s shocking when you see what the Police uncover. The amount of nail bars in London appearing almost daily is also cause for concern. What I can’t understand is the places that were raided had thousands and thousands of pounds of unpaid gas, electric etc bills.

      Looking for a GP with experience of autoimmune rheumatic diseases

      By Soylent Green · Posted

      GPs are general practitioners, hence the name; they are not specialists.  Specialist doctors only work in hospitals.  Each GP surgery has a catchment area; you cannot just choose a GP because you think they are the best match for your health condition, you have to be in their catchment.  If you are not happy with the one you are currently with, ring round the others nearby and find an alternative who is able to take you.  Then, work with your hospital clinic and the GP together to maintain your health. As an aside, I have a chronic autoimmune condition and have had no problems with the shared care of my GP (The Gardens) and hospital consultant ( I am under Prof Heneghan).  I visit the clinic twice a year, they advise my GP of any changes and the GP does my prescriptions (which include a controlled drug) and my blood tests in between.  When there has been any queries about compatibility or suitability of a treatment, the GP contacts the team at Kings for advice.  The system works perfectly.   Good luck with your change of GP and give them any hospital letters when you sign up.  A GP along cannot manage your condition, so you will need to ask your hospital specialists to set up a new shared care agreement with your new GP (this has to be done this way; a GP cannot set that up).

      Japan for holiday - how expensive is it now?

      By Jamesh31 · Posted

      We went as a family of four in October. Flights were OK (Cathy Pacific, in their January sale) and accommodation was relatively expensive in Tokyo (definitely not £30 a night) but food/drink/transport/shopping were way cheaper. Easy to feed four of us in an izakaya for £40 including drinks. Shops like muji & Uniqlo half the price they are here. We ended up needing to buy an extra suitcase. Was an incredible trip
