“Our crews have been on site through the night. The damaged fibre cables have now been removed, and new cables are being installed and jointed today,” Templeton said.
“Unfortunately, due to the scale of the damage, there was no option for a temporary repair.
“Restoration work is progressing and we expect services to be gradually restored during the course of today.
“We understand this is disruptive and appreciate the patience of affected residents and businesses while urgent repairs are completed.”
