Someone stole over a mile of copper cable from Openreach this morning... cutting off the internet to most of my local area... How inconsiderate...

Screenshot of a social media comment explaining a cable theft between Cowbit and Moulton Chapel: 1800m of copper cable stolen and fibre spine/FTTP feeds cut or ripped out. The writer says repairs may take about two weeks, will require a full road closure for safety, and advises reporting the fault to the provider (possible compensation if signed up) and making alternative arrangements in the meantime.
