No broadband in SA4 area

Have now been broadbandless in Swansea/Llanelli area for 3rd day today. Engineer came out and told me that it was an outage problem in the area rather than one with my personal connection.

Anyone any info on how long this is going to be down for?

Save me from library internet hell!

Re: No broadband in SA4 area

Rung them 5 times in the last 3 days since it disappeared. Apparently they know they have a problem and it's on a 'timeframe'. Is this code for "Don't hold your breath waiting for us to fix it"???

Cheers Monkeybreath!

I got up on the morning of the 11th and there it was gone.

Cable light does a pathetic little flicker occasionally and here I am in a public library having to get my online fix.

Is there a god of Ntl I can make a sacrifice to???
