The UK telecoms operator, BT<\/a>, has confirmed that the subsea cable repair ship (Pierre de Fermat<\/em><\/a>) they contracted to resolve the recent fibre optic break between Evie on the Orkney Mainland and nearby Westray, which disrupted local broadband and 4G<\/a> mobile connectivity, is set to be fully resolved on Saturday (18th April).<\/p>\n

As reported a few weeks ago (here<\/a> and here<\/a>), the \u201cmajor<\/em>\u201d incident began on Monday 16th March 2026<\/strong> (its cause remains unclear) and promptly disrupted both fixed broadband and some mobile connectivity for over 500 customers in the North Isles (inc. Eday, Stronsay and Sanday) \u2013 part of an archipelago off the northeastern coast of Scotland.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Subsea cable breaks are most often caused by ships dragging anchors or fishing trawlers dragging large nets over cables (not every trawler pays attention to the location of such cables). Other causes could be weather damage (e.g. if the break is in shallow water) or sabotage (here<\/a>), but the latter seems unlikely for this link.<\/div>\n

The situation initially meant that only landline phones in the area were still functional, as well as mobile services from EE<\/a> and Three UK<\/a>, although capacity issues were still impacting 4G<\/a> based mobile broadband connectivity. After a few days most of Vodafone<\/a>\u2019s (VodafoneThree) mobile customers were, however, back online, once they were able to harness a second Three UK<\/a> site on Westray to share coverage.<\/p>\n

Since then it’s been a case of needing to wait for the typically gradual pace of subsea cable repairs to take its course, which often takes a few weeks. The cable repair ship arrived over a week ago and has been busy working on the problem since then, but the latest update from the Orkney Local Emergency Co-ordination Group<\/strong> (OLECG) indicates that this work is still on course to complete by 18th April 2026 (tomorrow).<\/p>\n

UPDATE 19th April 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

The cable was repaired as expected and the survey team said the break was due to wear and tear against the rocky seabed over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
