Your Communications can confirm that our network services were disrupted in the early hours of the morning of Wednesday 23 October 2002 after some malicious damage was reported in the Salford area.

Engineers have been working since the early hours of the morning to restore connections in the shortest possible time. The incident has been reported to the Police and is being investigated.

Gary Clarkson, Operations Director for Your Communications says "The Your Communications network has been designed to have resilience against network breakages and most of our customers will have been able to maintain access to services as normal.

"However, we do know that a number of customers have been adversely affected, and we are naturally sorry for any inconvenience caused by this criminal activity. We are now working flat out to restore services to all affected customers and restore the network to normal."
