20th Oct 2026 (1 Comment)

A criminal gang has caused a significant broadband and phone outage for thousands of customers on Openreach’s UK network around the large South Yorkshire (England) village of Thurnscoe.

Switching broadband provider is normally easy, but in today’s story we cover how one of Virgin Media’s former customers instead ended up spending most of 2026 battling the ISP over an unexpectedly huge bill, after they failed to cancel his old service. As if to make matters worse, the customer then ended up being pursued by debt collectors and suffering damage to his credit file.

Eastbourne-based broadband ISP Lightning Fibre, which is deploying a full fibre (FTTP) network across Sussex and Kent in England (they also hold a partnership to use CityFibre’s UK network – here), has revealed that they’ve recently expanded their fibre network to reach a further 2,500 premises across five locations in the two counties.

Network benchmarking firm Ookla, which collects data from consumers via their Speedtest.net site and app, has revealed the results of a new study that shows how 4G and 5G mobile network performance in London has declined relative to 18 of Europe’s capital cities.

Nearly a decade has passed since broadband provider Virgin Media (VMO2) first informed ISPreview that they planned to adopt the Internet Protocol v6 (IPv6) addressing standard (here) and we’re still waiting. The situation around mobile operator O2 is similar, with both still relying primarily on IPv4 addresses. But there are signs of a change in the air data packets.

Remember when broadband giant BT recently decided to revive their BT Mobile brand, partly reversing a prior shift to focus on EE?

Mobile operator EE looks set to become the first UK network to introduce support for Apple’s new iPhone Handoff feature, which allows customers to easily switch back and forth between two iPhone models with the same mobile number (sharing the same active eSIM). But you’ll need to take one of their most premium plans or pay a bit extra to benefit.

The boss of UK broadband ISP Andrews & Arnold (AAISP), Adrian Kennard, has tabled an interesting argument for why the charges still being levelled against them by BT Wholesale and Openreach for Special Faults Investigations (SFI) on hybrid fibre SOGEA (FTTC) and full fibre (FTTP) lines should “not exist any more“.
