Vandals hit GT&T phone service on East Coast

Vandals recently damaged GT&T’s telephone cable at La Bonne Intention (LBI) resulting in disruption to telephone services along the East Coast of Demerara.

On Wednesday, GT&T said it became aware on Tuesday of the damaged 900 pair cable on the East Coast Public Road, alongside the bridge separating LBI and Chateau Margot.

It said that approximately 70 feet of the cable was cut and removed resulting in disruption to voice and data connection of close to 900 customers in Atlantic Gardens, Montrose, Le Ressouvenir and Happy Acres.

GT&T said it was working to restore service in the shortest possible time.
