Ghostrider Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 According to SIBC the cable work was completed on Saturday morning. There were short outages for some on Saturday night and Sunday morning, but those were said to be unrelated BT equipment issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrashBox Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 The only issue I've been experiencing, and still am, is being unable to access the inter-island ferry booking website. Every other website I use regularly is still working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl Posted August 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Well I personally have been without active broadband since thur afternoon and having to rely on a mobile phone hotspot to link out to the outside world. You never know how much you rely on these things till they foul up and stop working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
