Sydenham Town Forum

I also have a letter saying they would not hold me to full term ..........don't forget to get a rebate as well for all the downtime

Eagle, Is yours fixed now? Mine is still useless. Improved over weekend, and then back to default rubbish yesterday. NO it has not been fixed, still there at 5.00am Wednesday 21 April. Unfortunately I have not been around for two days so I have not had any dealings with the engineers. Like I said I...

No offense meant but it sounds like more BT BS They took a month to decide that they need a customers help :roll: In this case it was not BullShit! These were 'hands on' engineers. As I said they still do not know where the problem lies, at first they thought it was on one of the two pieces equipme...

Update............ This afternoon 'proper' engineers who were linked in a conference call with others rang me. They ARE fully aware of the problems that some of us are experiencing in Sydenham With my assistance various tests were carried out (nearly 3 hours). They have now ruled out certain things;...

Definite improvement this morning.
95% of pages have opened.

Be interested to see how others are getting on

Hardly been able to surf most of the day; however for the last two hours it would appear to be a little bit better, but likewise I am not holding my breath.

Here is my traceroute: 192.168.16.1 is my router and connects directly to the Zen (my ISP) gateway and hence on to the BBC in 6 hops. Your traceroute does seem to take an unnecessary tour of a lot of BT routers. Remember the pathway from my gateway to Zen's may be passing through the same slam as y...

Further update (Thursday 4pm) .............. Apparently they went to the exchange yesterday and they now do not think it is a problem with the dslam card. They believe the problem lies elsewhere within the exchange or the network or their monitoring equipment, so it has now been passed back to BT re...

Update (Thursday 7am) ...... I was out all day yesterday so I do not know whether they carried out the work. No downtime on the router. They will be ringing me after 11am this morning giving an update. The problem is STILL there, if not worse than before. Using OpenDNS does not solve the problem. Wh...

Update....... Following numerous tests that have been carried out on my line, BT (Wholesale) have now admitted that there is a problem with some of BT customers on the up to 20 meg connections. A special team will be working on it tomorrow morning (13 April 2010) from 9am this will probably involve ...

BT visited Sunday morning as expected NO problem found between m y equipment and the exchange. BT Specialists are now (with my help) investigating this and hopefully all the problems (for all) will be resolved shortly. Today I am carrying out some final tests before they go back to BT Wholesale and ...

Eventually (next 5 months???) all BT (BT Broadband) customers will eventually be switched over to ADSL2+. This will happen when they migrate Sydenham on to their new billing system. Any NEW BT customer will automatically get ADSL2+ There are a FEW of us that for one reason or another have been migra...

Interesting to read your texts - should I let BT know that it might be an 'area' thing .. ? After all the thorough tests I have carried out internally and this problem only developed minutes after they upgraded me to Up To 20meg I am convinced it is a fault in the exchange ................probably ...

My 8 meg broadband was upgraded to ADSL2+ on 31 March 2010. Using http://www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk/ as a gideline I get approx 15,678kbps download and 788kbps upload which I am happy with; however SINCE upgrading there are times when it will not connect to SOME websites (e.g google, bbc); it will ju...

Now if I was a policeman there would be two people in this thread that I would be visiting

Had very similar experience with their associated company CHOICE. Someone managed to get my name, address and date of birth on the internet. They opened an account using my name and address (NOT giving a landline number) and had their first order a TV (worth over £1000) sent to another address about...

Very bad accident Tuesday morning in Kirkdale near Peak Hill.

Air Ambulance landed.

You should ask the local residents what it was like when they had a youth club in St Barts crypt. Once it was closed there was mayhem outside. Large groups of black kids as many as a hundred terrorising the residents before they all charged down Sydenham High St no doubt frightening anyone in there ...

I use BT Broadband and like the majority of BT Broadband users in Sydenham we have not been upgraded yet to ADSL2 although the exchange was upgraded last year. Any new customer will automatically be put on to the ADSL2 giving them an upload speed of approximately 896 kbps and up to 20mb download spe...
