Fibre Damage Friday 27th December 2019 15:24:00

We have been alerted to what appears to be a repeat of the malicious attack suffered on 12th September. Initial reports are looking like fire damage to the same fibre junction as before but we are still investigating the extent of the damage.

We aim to have this resolved as quickly as possible and will provide updates as we have them.

Apologies to all affected customers.

All but one customer's connectivity is back online.

We are doing all we can with the final affected line and are in direct contact with said customer.

We apologise for any issues this has caused; some people evidently have more flammable spirit than festive spirit. We hope this incident has not dampened your festive celebrations.
