Does anyone know what is going on in Croydon/New Malden to cause these delays and have a better handle than the online checker on when the job will really be done. That website is now thoroughly discredited, whatever small print they use to cover themselves!
South London VM network has been held together with string and blu-tac for so many years that they have to do some major work to give people what they promised or advertised.

Originally VM gave the excuse that the July date was pushed back to September due to the Olympics but with the date moving twice since, its probably incompetence, bad planning or simply they are holding off paying for new equipment for as long as possible to save some pennies in their bank.

VM is one of the topics on Watchdog on BBC 1 tomorrow. Wondering if it will be about this or one of their many other false advertisements. Could be about their terrible service, bad support or so many other things though :P
