BT Openreach has now run fibre to most (I think) of ED - so FTTP from any supplier reliant on BT Openreach at 1000 MgB - the local cable company - was NTL but now trades as Virgin Media - offers higher speeds, but there have been real service issues at times. FTTC (hybrid fibre and copper for the last leg) has been available for a long time - best speeds around 60-70 MgB. 5G coverage patchy, but there is some.

I'm about to get fibre via Plusnet/Openreach, and I've always been very happy with Plusnet's  customer service.

But you can Google reviews of all the providers. I suggest haggling hard once you've decided what deal you are after. 

As Penguin says, there have been a lot of issues with Virgin in this area.

I’ve lived on lordship lane for 8 years and been working from home since 2020. I’ve used sky, plus net and virgin media. Now moving to Vodafone due to price hikes. All have been fine for 15 plus devices in a 2 person household, although Virgin got greedy and they prefer you to talk to a BOT on webchat function, shoddy customer service and the coverage was lagging and patchy of late even though no service disruption (apparently). 
I even terminated my contract with them a month early via messaging service.

Hello all, I'll be moving to SE22 soon and wondered if there is a better / faster broadband service with good customer service any of you would recommend, please?

Plusnet is very good. Very reliable, fast and apparently good customer service - but tbh I have never had to use it.

I've been with Plusnet for nearly 20 years, 15 here in ED.  Recently moved to full fibre with them, and it's been very reliable/stable. I find customer services fantastic.  Important to call them when they are about to renew your contract.  Haggle, and always, in my experience, I have managed to get a very good deal.

      Decision 2 April - Proposed Development - The Sidings, Railway Rise, SE22

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      The private sector is not going to build a significant amount of social housing. Everyone is very keen for *everyone else* to subsidise construction of social housing. I take it none of the objectors to this scheme was suggesting putting up council tax so Southwark could build more social housing...? Social housing isn't going to appear in serious numbers if the state doesn't borrow money and build it.

      Tesla at Belair House

      By Michelle. · Posted

      They must be really desperate to collab with Tesla. Honestly, it's not even the worst thing they've done. I've noticed these sex events happening in the last few months at a place that's supposed to be a restaurant and venue. I was planning my wedding there and was appalled by the setup for those events. When I discovered what was going on, I was disgusted by how they were using the same rooms as 'playrooms' where families are supposed to eat. The hygiene and safety concerns are just unacceptable. We really need to come together as a community to put a stop to this! They're destroying a sacred, Grade II listed building, and it's just not right. The owners need to be held accountable for their actions. It's time for us to stand up and protect our heritage and ensure that these spaces are used appropriately, especially when they should be serving families and the community.   sex events vid.mp4 sex events videe.mp4 Literally promoting it on their Instagram! Only just taken down after scrutiny.

      Anyone experiencing even greater issues securing a GP appointment with Tessa Jowell GP practice?

      By trinidad · Posted

      yes, which properly explains why they responded to me on this occassion, as i included the CQC in my response. I have spoken to the Health Ombudsman, and they feel the regulator is more suited to the issues I have raise for more than a year now. welcome aboard. its great to have you on the thread. so sorry you are also experiencing issues. has this been addressed as yet?

      Tbh most Tesla owners are people who are concerned about the environment and have purchased accordingly- but mr nut job has soured their purchasing- so I actually sympathise with them being associated with such an awful man. But to actively promote the company given the knowledge we now know about him makes utterly unacceptable.
