North Isles Broadband Update - 09/04/26

The Orkney Local Emergency Coordination Group (OLECG) met this afternoon to discuss the ongoing subsea cable outage affecting the Outer North Isles.

Partners were provided with an update from BT, confirming that a repair vessel is currently en route to Orkney and, all going well, is expected to arrive in Orkney waters tomorrow.

The vessel will inspect the cable and carry out any necessary repairs, with works anticipated to take place over the course of next week.
