Openreach Tring

Homes and businesses connected to Openreach’s Tring network were left without broadband or phone services after a rodent gnawed through the outer casing of the operator’s cables to build a nest.

Since discovering the damage engineers have worked to repair the damage. This proved a struggle as the underground chambers had been covered over within a private property.

The repair included rerouting 650 metres of cabling to avoid disturbing the nest.
