    Mark there’s no doubt the internet is a useful tool for all kinds of things.however blaming the internet for not getting to work I think is stretching things.
    In are bubble we put this down to poor weather
    And just got on with something else like communicating with people close by !!

    I’m with sky, my phone has been off for 6 weeks! I have phoned sky and continually get a message saying there is is a problem with the telephone exchange outreach. I have got through a few times and last week they were sorting it out. They booked a telephone engineer to look at the main box and would contact me. Heard nothing, phone still off!
    My husband and I are highly vunerable and at high risk. We depend on the phone for hospital/doctor appointments. Totally ridiculous!
