GT&T’s service to 600 customers in Bartica has been affected after cables were cut by a contractor.
A release from the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GT&T) yesterday said that the significant damage will require extensive excavation works and the replacement of a section of 900, 600 and 200 pair cables for a conduit crossing.
“GT&T has repeatedly appealed to contractors to consult the company before carrying out excavation and construction work to avoid such damage and disruptions.
“The telephone plant facilities are most vulnerable to damage and degradation by contractor’s activities but more importantly hundreds of customers associated with the telecommunications provider are adversely affected insofar as they are unable to communicate during periods of service disruption”, the release said.
GT&T apologized for the inconvenience and said it is sparing no effort to restore service at the earliest opportunity.
