MT apologising over service blackout

Manx Telecom is apologising for a broadband blackout which is affecting people across the Island.

The company says the outage which happened at around 5pm on Monday has impacted 4,000 businesses and consumer customers and after engineers responded immediately, they've worked with partners and suppliers throughout the night to try and fix the issue.

MT adds it's dedicated to minimising disruption and is making every effort to restore availability.

Customers are being encouraged to contact MT via its social media channels and to check the network status by visiting the Manx Telecom website.
