Openreach’s Post

Transcript

We're on our way to another job at the moment without replacing a poll, and we've come across this damage and you can see the strain on the cable there and the weight, you know, pretty frightening what could happen. The polls are under strain. They could snap. We need to make sure the area is safe first of all. Then we look into the services. There's a lot of storm damage has been down this way. Hopefully there there won't be anymore. But yeah, it's quite a bit challenging. We've mobilized everybody into this area to support. It's a tough time of year, obviously, coming up with Christmas. Wanted to spend time with their families, but we've had people down from Manchester, London, Oxford, Mid Wales all into this area to support. At the end of the day, as long as we get the customers back on to what they want, fibre and their telephone lines, they're happy. At the end of the day, everybody these days tends to rely on the Internet. It probably would have had an impact on us and the family. Yes, it would have done if it had been out for much longer. We realise that people would need dark hair activity, especially in rural Wales. A lot of our customers work from home. It's. Pretty devastating the damage, but everybody in the area is working as hard as we can to to restore service in time for Christmas. As many as possible. Hats off and Merry Christmas to all the boys and ladies who work for Open Reach.
