Photos from Black Dog Computer Services Ltd's post So, let me tell you a little story....
A number of years ago, for some reason, Openreach decided to lay the copper cable which feeds our village with phone/broadband along the verge of the road between the exchange and the village.
Fast forward a couple of years and this line was cut through when the verge was being cut, so Openreach fixed it with a large connection box (but decided to leave it on the verge rather that in the underground ducting (maybe it was blocked?).
They then closed the road to sort this earlier this year, but still didn't put it underground, and if anything left it more precarious.
So, now to today, this box has now been hit by a vehicle, ripping out all cables. Disconnecting any connectivity to our village
So, if you're trying to get hold of me, please be patient. Unless I'm in my office, or have a phone signal whilst in transit, I no longer have a phone line, a mobile phone connection or any broadband/email/internet.
I've tried to log the fault, but my phone/broadband provider aren't taking calls at the moment due to high demand.
So, if you need me, please try to get in touch, if I don't answer or reply straight away, you know why. ... See more
