Now entering third week with SS2 Teachers unable to reliably Teach Children remotely using Virgin Broadband.

Virgin acknowledge SS2 Virgin Broadband Internet issues but have not communicated what the issues are or when a normal service will resume.      

Talk Talk and BT has offered excellent broadband service to Teachers in the SS2 area during this critical time in education for children.

Not commenting on the issues per se, but just wondering why if the teachers are being asked to work from home and doing teaching online, why aren't the employers (Government) paying the cost of a reliable internet connection for these purposes? Perhaps with a 4G/5G backup? Do they expect the teachers to fund it themselves, or do you get reimbursed in some way - or have the various BB suppliers offered to fund it for free to you?
