A cable <strong>repair ship<\/strong> has been called in to fix the damage but weather is an issue and the fix could take another week.<\/p>\n<p>As with previous breaks, the Internet traffic that would normally be carried over SHEFA2 has instead been re-directed via the backup <strong>FARICE1<\/strong> subsea cable (this connects Faroe and Iceland to the United Kingdom). But not all ISPs have the necessary commercial agreements to do the same and as a result some homes and businesses were left with either slow or no connectivity (i.e. those that connect via AOL and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/tt\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">TalkTalk<\/a>&#8217;s network), while others suffered only minimal disruption.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shetlandtele.com\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Statement from Shetland Telecom<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>The Shefa 2 cable is broken between Orkney and Shetland. This is not an issue for most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/adsl\">ADSL<\/a> customers because all exchanges outside of Lerwick use BTWholesale regardless of their ISP. BTWholesale provide the backhaul and because they buy a resilient service from Faroese Telecom, these customers automatically either re-route to Torshavn and back to the UK by a different route (via Faroese Telecom and Shetland Telecom network) OR the old microwave link.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In Lerwick, the situation is a little more complicated. There is another &#8216;wholesale&#8217; provider. This wholesale provider has chosen not buy a resilient service and does not have the option of switching to an alternative route. Some ISPs use this wholesale provider (for broadband and voice). Customers of these ISPs in Lerwick) are likely to be experiencing complete or partial loss of service.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I don&#8217;t have a list of which ISPs use resilient backhaul services but I can confirm that customers of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>, Faroese Telecom, Shetland Telecom and Shetland Broadband are unaffected by the cable break.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The situation has caused local Shetland MSP <strong>Tavish Scott<\/strong> (Scottish Liberal Democrats) to request that the UK telecoms regulator, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a>, consider investigating the issue of network resilience on the Shetland Islands in the hope of giving local people and businesses better protection against such outages.<\/p>\n<p>But broadband is not yet covered by a proper and legal <strong>Universal Service Obligation<\/strong> (USO), which could limit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a>&#8217;s ability to intervene. Similarly the regulator might well consider such commercial arrangements to reside outside of its scope.
