Yes spoke to them this morning and their engineers are looking into it but we were told one would be out to us on Wednesday which my wife flipped at as our son has his leaving ceremony then so she rang them back and they will try and sort it out over the network but when by I'm not sure

Hi all,


We are on copleston road and have the same issue. No TV or broadband. Called Virgin to explain that I believe this may be an area issue, rather than just specific to me but this fell on deaf ears. Engineer coming on wednesday apparently. If anyone else affected can log a fault then maybe we might get an engineer out to the local exchange today.


Thanks all

I had problems on Friday night through to Saturday morning. They blamed a power failure that totally wiped out the user settings of my router. Had to re-do the full set up as if I was a new customer. We are still virgin national ADSL customers. Virgin won't replace our hardware as we are 3 years out of contract with them and they keep urging me to take out fibre optic. We are about to move house and I told them I will never be back to them for broadband. We have never got our advertised speeds, not even close, running around 3-9mbps when promised 30-50mbps+ in our area. The technical side drives me mad, distant indian call centre, very quiet down the phone line. We've had all the wiring changed along the front of our flat due to wear which meant we spent weeks running at barely 2mbps, for this I was offered ?5 compensation which then increased my bill, I complained again and got ?10 off the next months bill. I hate them, such shoddy service and slow repairs!

    • Interesting, because I am finding it next to impossible to get an appointment at Tessa Jowell.  
    • Yes, I live Colyton/Dovedale area and lots of swifts usually.  I'd love a swift nesting box too.
    • There's always a large flock(?) over the area of back gardens surrounded by Colyton / Dovedale / Marmora / Scutari, but no idea if / where there are any nesting boxes. We'd love to have one, and often have swifts zooming close by, checking out possible sites.
    • I would have thought the cost of erecting X meters of metal barriers would be the same irrespective of location, plus given the issues with access now due to the "bunds", it would also be easier given the ample direct access the common provides? The reason I've heard from the organisers is that their footprint has been tailor made for that part of the park, so it's not possible to fit it anywhere else. Which is a ridiculous argument given that  they've already altered / extended it due to the space they've 'lost' from the "bunds". The reason I've heard from FOPR and others is that as the common is public land (or similar) it requires permission from the Home Secretary (or similar) due to ancient grazing rights or something. Oddly it doesn't seem to have affected the circus, the steam fair, the dog show etc etc etc Yes, the wide path where Parkrun starts & finishes will become a controlled crossing during the build, and completely closed off during the festival. Also, when I asked about the reason for the extended footprint onto the sports pitch, they said it was to replace lost space where the bunds are, which they used to store equipment. However, they were unable to explain where this storage area now was on the new plan... And when asked about the loss of the sports pitch due to the extension & access road, they said the council had assured them there were no matches booked for that period. But what about the kids, families, who play on them? No answer...
