Reviews on Vodafone Broadband or Sky Broadband??
Thank you Go with virgin if it’s available in your area. Far better offering and great speed. If you got a big house or apartment you’ll get up to 3 Wi-Fi boosters for free which is a good deal IMO. PM if you want to get a £50 in your opening. |

hustla: I actually "caused" one in a way (long story but it was not intentional)
Home Office has sent them emails to go back home, divorce and re-enter
Apparently, they got here and went their seperate ways. Time to apply for PSW, they claimed divorced so home office told them to go back home, divorce and the main applicant can come back in... Else, they both will be denied Damn! Bush meat don catch the hunter be that. That's quite sad though, I don't see the reason for HO doing all that, especially if both parties are law abiding and aren't a burden on public coffers. |

LagosismyHome: These landlord are just exploiting the housing shortage ... I saw someone posted here a site that do guarantor for a fee. I know someone who had to paid rent for a full year in advance to get a flat. Almost £15k paid upfront for some dingy apartment. International students are being massively exploited, unfortunately, not everyone might get to reap the rewards after the huge expense. |

Amarathripple0: I remember when I first got in here, I attempted to play the race card at a situation which I even shared here. I had to unlearn that nonsense fast else it would have affected my outlook at everything. The OP parked on the road and left a child standing by themself, that should have been enough to understand why the person was speaking to their child. As for that person defending his stance on racism, he should just go back to Nigeria because he’s disturbing this thread. Yeah that's the way. We have to unlearn some of these things, so we don't tie ourselves down. |

Quite frankly, all these plenty talks of racism are quite hypocritical to a large extent especially coming from Nigerian. Does racism exist? Yes, to a certain degree, there's even Brit on Brit prejudices against themselves, but if you go on daily bouts looking for actions to label as racism, you're going to find it. Some people might be nasty and just generally a*sholes and it has nothing to do with racism it's just who they are, for better or worse, we have such people in Nigeria as well, you don't go around shouting racism or tribalism against their every actions. Same people complaining of racism here, are the same ones saying Peter Obi cannot be president of Nigeria because he is Ibo or Tinubu president because he is Yoruba. Same people who will refuse their sons or daughters to marry people of other tribes because of some centuries old prejudices still being propagated. We can't come into the country and always be trying to play the victim card at any given opportunity, it'll only stunt your personal progress, not every white man or woman is racist, and not every white person who rubs you the wrong way did so because you're black, let's learn to look at things objectively and not always through the lens of racism. |

Ayowolebami: YES I have CAMS and the context of your definition of illegal funds doesn't apply to this (not even about the amount at this point) but I'm done arguing with you cause you wanna be right so bad (which I'm not even arguing with you over ) but simply pointing out your choice of word for the offense is simply INCORRECT. I rest my case at this juncture
AML (Money laundering) and TFC (Terrorist Financing) have one major difference and it's the SOURCE of funds. When they say source of funds is illegal, it simply means money was gotten from an illegal source or shady business deal or dirty money like drug money NOT wages paid legally for a job done. But is the job legal under UK law? |

One person even told me you can max out your cc and then pay in full at the end of the month contrary to what the Amex customer service rep advised I do (paying in full)

 Technically you can max your card and pay in full on/before your cycle completes. But high credit utilisation will have a hit on your credit score. |

I can say the house is moderately wet, just a small ceiling mold (which I believe has been fixed after the leakage around chimney was fixed some months back because it’s not increasing, just decreasing slowly), musty odor and window dew in parents room, and cough that I am now uncomfortable with.

90% of Nigerians going to UK are doing so to work..with easy system now you can switch over from ur studentship tier 4 to work visa tier 2 over there. so park well. If you want to continue this discussion get a visa and come to the UK, I will be there waiting for you. |

okeysoninv: Pele, your talk doesn't hold water. there are more jobs than applicants in UK. your just arm chair critics without logic. a country that offers cheap food, clothing , shelter with good pay per hour can never be a waste. how many refugees from Ukraine are they in UK to compare to the number of European that exit after the brexit. Which country is offering cheap food and shelter and to who? Don’t say things you don’t know about please. Even employed citizens are falling back on universal credit and other social support schemes to survive. People are resorting to food banks due to inflation and high cost of living. No one is discouraging you from going to the UK, but come with clear eye, don’t think you’re going to get an easy ride as before. PS: if you’re going on a student visa, know that you’re not eligible for any form of government support as that counts as public funds and its grounds to be denied a work visa after school. |

Adazeal: Hi guys, please look at this issue and let me know if I'm wrong or not.
My power supply tripped off very early in the morning of a certain day, unfortunately, it was only mine that went off. I called 105 and my energy supplier, after series of questions and information I gave them from both my gas and electric meters, they confirmed my meters were working fine and that I should contact my landlord for internal issues.
Your opinions please. Sorry for the long read Ignore them. The burden of proof is on them. They should prove where they directed you to flip the breakers. If they have a socket that's tripping under normal load, there's a bigger electrical problem and potential fire hazard in the accommodation. |
