    Anyone in Tring?

    Yuck!


    Residents in villages in Hertfordshire have been left without internet after a colony of nesting rats chewed through broadband cables.

    The leafy town of Tring was worst hit by the outages after engineers discovered the mischief of rodents gnawing at the ducting, outer casing and multiple cables - which usually requires a power-drill to get through.

    Openreach, who provide internet for BT, apologised for the disruption describing the rat attack as an “extremely rare” incident.

    An Openreach spokesperson said their engineers “worked through the night” and connectivity was restored for most people by 2am on Wednesday.

    They added the repair effort had been hampered because access to its underground chambers had been covered over within a private property.
