RESIDENTS in an area of Bournemouth have been hit by broadband problems due to a power issue.
People living in Westbourne have been affected by intermittent broadband for the past 24 hours.
A spokesperson for Openreach said: “There’s a power issue affecting one of our green cabinets in Westbourne which has resulted in intermittent broadband for some surrounding homes and businesses.
“We’ve been temporarily using batteries to keep it running and the mains electricity supply will be repaired tonight. “We’d like to remind anyone experiencing any problems with their phone or broadband service to report it to their provider (the company which bills them) and we’ll be informed.”
The spokesperson said the cab serves around 250 homes and businesses but not all will be impacted.
