There's also a rather terse warning on the NTL Service status page.

Re: Hemel Loss of Service

Would this affect Tring area? we have lost both TV and internet since yesterday around 1-2pm.

Cheers

If you look at the status page, it lists the affected postcodes.

This is related to the Oil Depot fire.

Additionally customers in The surrounding areas of Luton and Hemel Hempstead may also be experiencing connectivity problems due to the fire.

If you have lost service within the past 24 hours we will be unable to assist you.

We apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause.

Re: Hemel Loss of Service

I'm in HP2 and although my 10mb is still working, it's very unreliable. Webpages fail to load or load very slowly and download speeds pulsate between full on and zero.

Re: Hemel Loss of Service

Even if cables have melted you will not be looking at months - it doesn't take that long to drag new ones in.
