Stormy weather affects phone lines

by tref on Monday, 16 November, 2009

The cats and dogs rained merrily upon the good citizens of the UK on Friday and Saturday and in consequence the number of problems with telephone lines shot up. I don”t have the definitive numbers to hand as I write this headed southbound on the train but anecdotally we probably saw double the number of faults being reported compared with a normal Saturday. 

These would have been for broadband and fixed lines though I know from experience in driving home through a cloudburst that mobile services also degrade during really bad weather. Roll on Fibre to the Premises I say.
