MBORC declaration and Service update  |
| This MBORC declaration and Service update is issued as a special alert to all Openreach customers due to the continuing severe weather experienced over the past few days |
| On 24 December 2012, we declared MBORC for repair activities on 12 areas of the UK in addition to 6 areas already declared (18 in total).
This message is regrettably to declare MBORC on a further 4 areas with effect from 08:00 today 27 December 2012 as listed below:- Areas declared today Areas already subject to MBORC declaration (from previous Alert messages) In all of the above areas, the extremely high rainfall and extensive flooding has severely restricted access to our network apparatus and our underground infrastructure has been heavily impacted. Our fault work stack had risen to 40,117 early this morning against 28k faults just over a week ago. We have been directing all available resource into these areas including the use of overtime working over the Christmas period. We will continue with overtime working for the coming weekend and New Year periods in order to bring the position back to normal as quickly as possible. We will continue to monitor the situation and will remove MBORC as soon as service can be restored to levels they were at immediately before the very recent poor weather. We would like to thank our customers for their continued patience and consideration during this very challenging time. Regards Openreach Communications |
