Householders can repair many telephone problems themselves

1 December 2010

All landline services have been restored after engineers worked throughout the weekend.

The majority of problems reported involved household broadband services and most faults investigated have been found to be internal to the customer’s property, and primarily involved the configuration of broadband filters, which can be easily and cheaply replaced by the householder.

Lightning strikes can often cause issues with telephone services, but there are now no problems with the island’s telecommunications network.
