Main Phone Cable Stolen Again

Featured Replies

They bloody did it again!

No internet this morning, checked phonelines and all three numbers I have are dead silent.

Contacted TT&T and was informed the main cable has been cut and stolen.

Second time in about 2 years time here! Just hope they repair it a bit faster then last time, took over a week back then!!!

Serious problem for me, most my bookings are phoned in, and most of my guests do need the internet access!

Currently using a laptop with a Sierra Wireless Edge aircard as a back-up....

I wonder what had happened.

I had a call on one of my landlines last night at about 9.30 p.m. and this morning I kept trying to send a fax, before realising that both my lines were dead. I reported them, but wasn't told about the theft of cable - but she did sound a bit amused about my predicament. :D

It's times like these when ipstar comes into it's own, Monty. :o

BTW I was trying to fax a site survey request to JSat to install a new satellite TV system. Never mind - sent it by email instead,via ipstar. :D

Seven times this year in Kabinburi. Out for a day or two each time. Everbody says it is the TOT staff doing it. Copper at 270B per kilo is the culprit.

Soundman.

Wow, they were fast this time, 2 out of three lines are already working, luckily the ADSL line is one of them :o

16 hours flat after the line was cut we are on-line again. Amazing...

Me too, back on again - Both lines

I can now send my fax :o

Not only phone cables but also the copper conducting networks of lightning protection systems are fair game. On my condo, we lost all the down-conductor network on the roof but the air terminals were left so that we wouldn't notice for a while.!!!

It must be happening all over, as it happened in the village where i live in Sakon Nakhon last month. Line out for 1 week, first time in 4 years so not too bad. Fingers crossed.

You've been lucky Monty if it's only happened twice in 2 years. At our side of the lake near soi Siam Country Club it's been 3 times in just over a month. The first time, last month, they actually told us the cable had been stolen but then it happened again last week and same this week. Each time took a least 2 days to reconnect.

The new cable hasn't improved the ADSL connection though. :o:D
