Calm down ladies.

Two major cable breaks. Cable from Edinburgh to Glasgow has been damaged by a 3rd party excavating in the road. It is not an easy fix and repair crews have been out all day. Cable is expected to be repaired at 03:00.

2nd cable across the Irish sea has been damaged, possibly by fishing trawlers, this is an even bigger problem and will take even longer to fix.

Some network work arounds have been undertaken, which is why some service has been returned to Glasgow.

Will all be back by 03:00 ish.

A major issue caused in absolutely no way by ntl. ntl have respondedand the guys out there working round the clock to restore service to you sholuld be congratulated not criticised.
