Since Monday 16 March, Orkney\u2019s North Isles have been subject to
broadband and mobile phone outages affecting services such as
digital phone lines, card-payment systems, some mobile 4G services
and internet access in homes, as well as internet access and digital
phones at Council sites including schools and some local GP
practices.<br>
Following investigations, BT confirmed the cause as damage to a
subsea cable between Evie and Westray, which will require repair by
a specialist vessel. That vessel is now expected to arrive in
Orkney next week. <br>
We've pulled together some of the key information on this situation

This is an ongoing situation and the article will be updated as new
information becomes available.
