CableVision technicians are continuing to work to restore service to subscribers this evening, five days after Hurricane Gonzalo hit Bermuda.

The firm’s CEO, Terry Roberson, said the ‘majority’ of subscribers in the central parishes now had their video and internet services back on.

But he insisted that crews would continue to work extended hours to get everyone back online.

Mr Roberson added: “Work continued across the island today to restore service to our customers.

“The cable plant in the central area now has full services, providing both video and internet to the majority of our subscribers.

“Because the eastern area is so large, our team will continue to work from the entrance of Ferry Reach down to Cut Road tomorrow.

“We will also work on Friswell’s Hill, Glebe Road, Roberts Avenue North, Border Lane North and Crane Lane.

“In the west, we will also work on Middle Road, Warwick, including Warwick Lane, Warwickshire Road, Lightbourne Lane and Spicery Road area.

“We are focused on these designated areas and will continue to update the public on our progress.

“We know it is frustrating for customers to be without service, and so we are continuing to work extended hours to restore service and we would like to thank our customers for their patience.”
