Nottinghamshire internet down: Full list of areas affected as 10,000 properties hit

The issue is not expected to be resolved for another two days

Around 10,000 properties have been hit by internet and telephone outages and the disruption is expected to last for another two days. Openreach said the issues, which began over the weekend, were mainly centred around the West Bridgford and the Meadows areas.

The company said this was because of "malicious damage" caused to its cables and told customers that services would not be fully restored for another 48 hours. Issuing an update to users at around 10.30am (Monday, October 14), it said engineers were on-site and ready to install a replacement cable as when it arrives.

"Works to take approx 48 hours for full service restoration, services will begin to come online throughout the day and night as the cable is jointed," it said. The company said customers in and around the below 11 locations are currently without internet:

• Arkwright
• Bingham
• Cotgrave
• Long Bennington
• Leadbrooks
• Radcliffe-on-Trent
• Whatton
• Waltham-on-the-Wolds
• Clitheroe
• Withdean
• Verwood

David Lloyd Gym in West Bridgford said it was suffering "significant issues" which meant it has no access to tills, phone lines and emails. A spokesperson for Rushcliffe Borough Council said none of its services were affected.

A spokesperson for Openreach said: "[Engineers] are working as quickly and safely as they can, but we expect it could take around 48 hours before everyone affected has phone and broadband services fully restored. We’re really disappointed that people living and working here are bearing the brunt of criminal behaviour and theft from our network.

"These attacks cause significant damage and unacceptable disruption to the lives of local people and put vulnerable people at risk. We urge people to call 101 to report any suspicious activity around our network to the Police; if members of the public do believe a crime is in progress then they should dial 999.”
