We're investigating an outage affecting east and central wight - this looks to be due to a power outage in the Merstone area.

New parts are fitted, service is now restored.
We consider this incident resolved.
Very unusual, but two faults have coincided to break our ring topology. One fault is rectified and the vast majority of customers are restored.
A few customers in central wight are without service due to a failed DC rectifier. This is in the process of being swapped.
