Re: Belfast & Glasgow TV Outage
From my knowledge of this happening in the past it is usually another company has had fun cutting through the cable. So, not really even ntl's fault? *dons flameproof suit*

Dont get me wrong. I was asking a simple question, perhaps even making an even simpler observation based on what Markypussbag said.
I wouldnt wish for anyone to be sacked - there are enough lay-offs in NTL at the moment without any more!!
And Id tend to agree with the JCB theory too - although I think it was mentioned that the cable had been cut in two places - between Edinburgh & Glasgow, and Lytham & Dublin. An act of digital terrorism.
Mr Murdoch, can you account for your whereabouts around the hours of ....... and ........ ????
I ONLY JEST OF COURSE!!
I agree wholly with the point raised by Nolly below!!!

Re: Belfast & Glasgow TV Outage
Surely this highlights the case for a phone & tv service status page similar to the one for internet access at:

Re: Belfast & Glasgow TV Outage
My TV Drive has just rebooted but the channels are still not available (except, bizarrely, Sky One)....and...I can't watch any of the pre-recorded stuff
I'm off to bed. This had better be sorted in the morning, or there'll be hell to pay!
