While another raged: "You’re wifi is down the morning.
"No one can seem to get anything in West London. Please look into this asap. Thanks."

Am I entitled to compensation from Community Fibre?
If you're suffering issues with your internet, call or mobile services you may be entitled to compensation.
We've asked Community Fibre exactly what its rules are and will update the piece once we know more.
Internet firms usually pay out £8 for each day broadband and home phone services are not repaired after two full days of no service.
They will also pay £25 for each missed appointment, or for appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice, plus you'll get £5 for each calendar day delay to the start of the new service.
This is usually automatic.
If your problem is still unresolved after eight weeks, you can complain to an independent Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) scheme.
Community Fibre is signed up to the CISAS ADR scheme.
