Broadband down in Grange area

T-Bird

Broadband down in some areas in Grange just after midnight today. May be a day or so before it's back up.

Just heard that this was because the post office was robbed last night, and the robbers cut the internet cables to stop the cameras.

I heard that too. Passed about ten am and there was a good few guards around. The postmistress was sitting in her car across the road. Glad it happened that way and not an armed robbery.

PO in Donegal robbed after that.

I left a parcel into Grange PO on Saturday. I hope the f&&kers didn't take it.

I'm sure (hopefully) there was plenty of CCTV footage available from other businesses in the area, still not a nice thing to open up to first thing in the morning, hope all is ok.

I passed at lunchtime yesterday. There were 3 Eir vans and they had the manholes up around the PO . I heard they sabotaged a cabinet up at the playground as well.

That’s unbelievable. I’m sure the lads are on CCTV. Hope they fix it fairly pronto, it’s when you’re without you realise how much you use it, even for little things.

8, yes eight, Eir vans in Grange at the moment. Fair to say they must’ve made serious sheeeyte out of it whatever they done!

4 vans at the PO and 4 in Courthouse Drive. 2 with big rolls of cable. They must have done serious damage to the infrastructure. Just goes to show how vulnerable it is and how easily it could be done again.

Well you gotta give it to them it was a very well orchestrated attack if anything

I heard they got nothing, but that is just hearsay. All working again here thankfully. Boy they did some job on it.

Good luck with the books :P Remember to "turn" the pages physically and not "swipe" them hehe.

The sum supposedly has not been disclosed, which would make sense for sercurity reasons. Nothing official I heard about it, just rumours. I heard that the same gang targeted a post office in Donegal. I heard a local saying that there must be a good few at it, since the cables were damaged in a few places and some tools and drills were stolen of a few people. Real bank heist stuff huh

Edit; Still not back. Are u in the village tbird? I’m out the bundoran road and still nothing. Feck.

Sorry yours not working, that could be bad news for weekend.

Hi, Just wondering did you happen to get your Internet back yet?

sligojoek

Sorry to be off topic but probably the best place to ask.
Has anyone driven to town this morning yet? What are the roads like?

They’re grand, although I only went as far as teesan and back (that’s as far as I needed to go) but main road is fine.

Strathroy Milk truck just came through grange there at an unbelievable speed. Unbelievable on a normal day, never mind today. Went so fast I couldn’t get around to see his reg.
