Oh no


I always stop for busts, now what am I going to do for entertainment until Monday


Joking aside thank you hpsaucy for the update.

If 'everything' is down, and the repair time is long, the chances are that this is a cable breach, either accidently (i.e. JCB went through it in error) or the result of intentional cable theft. Because each cable is made up of multiple twisted pairs, each of which uniquely connects between the subscriber's end and the exchange equipment, restoration requires each pair to be correctly matched; this is much more complex than mending an electricty cable or gas pipe or water pipe - when just joining back the ends is all this is required to restore 'flow'. Similary damage to a flexibility point (i.e. one of the green cabinets in the street) also required meticulous restoration of each pair. Do you know what has caused this outtage?

Nope - BT were pretty opaque about it on the times we've rung them - but then don't suppose call centre staff often get the teccie view. Seems to be a mixture of fixing and other work going on on the street and also local exchange. That bit of road is often being worked up but various companies...


If anyone's interested - seems to be up and running.

Not sure about the 'bust' stop tho lol.

HI there. Well - when I wrote it I thought so. Ours is on, but different flats in our block (40 Solomon's) have differing experiences. Some still have no internet (some of those with Sky seemingly), some no landline.... Some fiddled around with router cables etc. to get the internet back on.


Guessing yours isn't' then?

    • We have had Tony and team do a number of repairs and decorative work over the past year in our Victorian terrace in Peckham. Most recently, they painted the majority of our house while we were on holiday, where they spent 12 hour days over two weeks working non stop to complete plastering, walls & ceilings, and woodwork paint on custom joinery. Tony communicated throughout but kept the end result a surprise. We returned to the most beautiful house decor, with the whole place spotless too. I would have no hesitation in recommending TDR, the work is always to an extremely high standard, well priced and I always trust Tony and his work. We will use TDR again for further work in our house. 
    • It's quite normal with chain shops that have a large real estate portfolio who are in the proverbial. When the writing is on the wall they know exactly how much they can afford to pay to keep a site open and the landlord then has a choice:  accept the lower rent or find a new tenant. Finding a new tenant sometimes means not getting any rent from an insolvent company, paying to clear their stuff out and giving the new tenant a rent free period to fit out their shop and establish themselves. It can be expensive for the landlord to refuse a rent reduction. I think this landlord has probably landed on their feet here though, getting Tesco interested. 
    • When I used to go to the one in Woodwarde road I found them expensive but not exceptional- They kept suggesting I have an acid treatment on my toenails which have a tendancy to become ingrown-I think it was many hundreds of pounds (about £400 5 or so years ago) when I found my current Podiatrist (who teaches at The Royal college of Podiatrists) he told me that A: that treatment was'nt foolproof and the nail could grow back and B: that he really did'nt reccomend it in my case. I also did'nt like how the charges at Woodwarde rd just kept getting higher and varied depending on whom was treating me.
