Rain and electricity don't really mix too well

Have you reported this to faults?

What will generally happen with the cabs is that if a door is loose a fault tech will attempt to repair it as best he can. If there is internal damage to the cabinet then this is normally escilated to a network tech to sort out, and if completely demolished (ie fire/car accident) then a complete rebuild is carried out by civils/contrsuction.

Don't I just know it - an electric storm and a rainstorm overnight last night resulted in NTL in Swansea having their IT and telephony systems taken completely out of action until approx 3pm later that day!
