Its been like that (but possibly getting worse) for years.
I gave up watching it a long time ago.

« on: Yesterday at 22:36:59 »Sadly, not unusual, although as Migv6 says, not entirely unique to Openreach (BT/EE, a separate company, never send anyone to residential properties, like all service providers exclusively using Openreach for the connection, they send an Openreach technician (who might then subbie it).
Albs - if you came from Sky via Openreach to BT (or more likely EE), it should all be the same same cabling/fibres, assuming you didn't go from ADSL/FTTC to FTTP. So hard to see how it could be a change of provider. It could be, if FTTC (can't be ADSL, as I'm fairly sure there is a stop sell on that now), a re-learning which takes up to 10 days, but any outages caused by that should reconnect within a minute or so. If its only on WiFi where you see the problem, it could be the (not so smart) Smarthub making a mess of channel selection. Best to try a wired device and compare, if possible, to prove it to WiFi or not.
Hardly understood a word of that
...........but will try a wired connection to prove / disprove where the issue lies.My gut feeling is the " smart hub" but we shall see.
Thanks.

Really ?
I bet its not in a very obvious place ?

We changed phone and Broadband from SKY to BT a couple of months ago. Internet drops out almost every day now and we have to reset the router to get it back.
A shower of shite as far as Im concerned.
But then most companies are the same nowadays.

I loved mine too, but like most old cars now, decent examples go for silly money.

Does he have a point?...
I would like to think so, but almost unbelievably, the MSM are obviously trying to keep a lid on this.
Outside of GB News and the Telegraph, it doesnt seem to get a mention.
Its a National scandal thats being ignored, presumably in the hope it will go away.

Dont blame you, although they dont like standing around doing nothing for long periods of time.
Rust sets in and things start to seize up.
Best to move them around a bit, even just on the drive, if possible.

My 02 3.2 is £37.68.
It was £36.31 last month.
So theyve put it up without telling anyone ?

The Grand old Duke of York.
He gave 12 million quid.

If my memory serves, the first time I removed one I just undid the lower shock bolt.
It was a nightmare to get out, and only managed with my son jumping up and down on a scaffold pole as a lever, while I pulled on the spring.
After that, I undid more stuff so they just more or less drop out.

Great little engines for tuning.
I knew someone who had a Davrian kit car in the 70,s fitted with an 1140 fuel injected Imp engine and it went like a stabbed rat.

« on: 29 October 2025, 21:05:52 »And Britain gave him £500 to leave without a fuss ( do Golders challenging the ruling?). I hope he was arrested and jailed on arrival. The world really has gone mad. I would have the civil servant that handed out £500 of your taxpayers money shot in front of his family.
Harsh, but I cant disagree.
