Gosport Back Into The Dark Ages

This is due to recent events.

As several thousand people in the south of Hampshire may be aware, on Wednesday theievs broke into the BT exchange and stole £10,000 worth of BT copper lines, plunging areas into darkness with no internet or landlines.

Areas affected are mainly in Gosport including Brockhurst, Alverstoke and areas of Bridgemary, people have had their lines off since and people with BT lines are affected, BT saying that all should be fixed by Christmas Day.

Many people are pissed off by this including the follower of this blog who has returned home to find their phone and internet missing, this worse as a majority of the household have a disabillity and a phone is more critical, they are currently not able to make entries on their blog either.

Fortionatly for me last year we made the swich to Virgin Media as we have a cable line, so we are not affected by the outage, also we are not on the Gosport exchange we are on Fareham, its hard to tell whether we would be affected f we were on a BT line.

Anyways i thought this deserved an entry its a local thing and people i know are affected by it, i have internet access so if anyone i know is affected tell me and you my get access.

Until Next Time
