Our entire village is without landlines now. And BT don't respond (some folk with fobile moans have tried to report it) The next village is off too. I suppose we must be patient - the storms probably decked telegraph poles and overhead cables. But last time this happened, it was caused by a massive theft of cables by some nasty thieves.
Our fobile moan signal in this village is negligible, and many vulnerable, elderly or poorly folk who live alone are worried, being stranded without any means of calling for help. Gulp!
