I'm one of the effected, no internet connection

You just think - Why???

Hope all is sorted soon Rob.

scrap value mate, get them a couple of extra rounds in the pub.

Surely phone cable can't be worth that much, where would they even use it? Or maybe it's the new era of sign nicking to melt down for metal or whatever they do with it..

All the businesses locally can't use their card machines etc., plus plenty of old people without any means of communication - pretty s**tty thing to do!

The woman I spoke to from BT last night said it would be fixed by "30th November" - I nearly choked!!

could be an ordered job, the cable length is quite long, so it could be that it has been stolen for some specific job.

Right come on Joni, you're blatantly involved. What have you done with it??

sold it and bought some protein...

You'd be suprised Rob, to a low life twentys a lot of money in the boozer.

you think couple boozer geezers could have pulled this off?

350 metres of cable?

you'd be suprised how ingenius low lifes get so they don't have to work or maybe an inside job

its abit of a weird one this! it will be an armoured cable but apart from that it not got much scrap value. as ita a pain in the arse t o seaperate the metal and PVC sheathing

Thing's in on it too. Did you split the protein with Joni??

lol now that would be telling

its acctually surprisingly easy to split the casing, all you need is an axe and a spare half hour
