Urabug Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 I see Shetland Telecom applying for planning permission to convert the Grantfield toilets & the Lochside toilets into hubs. Never saw these buildings on the market for sale,but I may have missed it. Always thought that Clickamin Centre should have taken over the Lochside toilets but obviously they do not want them.

MuckleJoannie Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 The toilets belong to the SIC, as does Shetland Telecom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urabug Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 So its just a change of use . Think it would have better served the community as a toilet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shetlandpeat Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 So its just a change of use . Think it would have better served the community as a toilet Either way, some level of effluent will pass through the building, in the Telecom variation, both ways.

Marvin Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Think it would have better served the community as a toilet I couldn't agree more but the Council was going to spend money on getting them demolished. We needed space for servers. So to avoid additional expense of putting up buildings we decided that converting the toilets would be the best plan and would save money all round. On our network they are called Bloomsbury (postcode WC1) and Aldwych (WC2). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unlinkedstudent Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 Time to play "beat this"....AGAIN! I just did: http://www.speedtest.net/result/2851169467.png Call logged with BT - they are running tests but so far, nothing is flagging as having failed. Could it be that Glusstonberry has nicked all the bandwith and is hogging SHEFA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuckleJoannie Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 A team from this lot were in Shetland last week. I was at their meeting but I had to leave early due to another committment. In the short time I was there they were being given no cause to doubt that broadband in Shetland is not up to scratch. Their questions are here http://www.rse.org.uk/1074_InquiryQuestions.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Due to emergency work on Faroese Telecom’s network, there will be an outage to all customers connected to Shetland Telecom’s fibre network tonight from 10pm to 2am. There was a break in the SHEFA2 cable on Friday morning south of Orkney. All Shetland Telecom traffic was successfully diverted on to FARICE1 (resilient route) which connects Faroe and Iceland to the UK. Faroese Telecom are now having to do emergency work on this route (FARICE1) which will mean that all customers connected to Shetland Telecom’s network will be without service from 10pm tonight until 2am. We have been assured that the work is critical. Shetland Telecom wishes to apologise to all customers. NB – Customers include community broadband schemes in Vidlin, Fetlar and West Burrafirth.
