As previously communicated, a third party has damaged our cable within the underground duct network. Excavation of the carriageway is required to access and repair the damaged ductwork.
Our engineers remain on site and will continue to progress the repair and restore services as quickly as possible.
At this stage, we are unable to provide an estimated time for repair. We understand the inconvenience and frustration this prolonged outage may be causing and sincerely apologise for the disruption.
As a gesture of goodwill, all customers affected by this outage will receive a £20 credit in recognition of the inconvenience caused.

Restoring service to customers in Rossendale is proving to be very difficult. A utility company has damaged our cable in the underground duct network. An excavation is needed in the carriageway to repair the damaged underground duct and this is scheduled for tomorrow. Once the duct is repaired we can install our new fibre network cable, splice it into existing fibre joints in manholes and restore service to our customers.
Our engineers are on-site testing fibres in the damaged cable to see if any are intact to provide temporary connectivity to customers. They will work on this into this evening.
