Specialist rural broadband provider Airband said that its cables had been targeted repeatedly in recent weeks – with police investigating the attacks.

The company said the cables are part of its work to improve broadband speeds in the area and the damage has delayed the possibility of bringing an ultra-fast connection to the wider community.

Airband founder and managing director, Red Peel said: “At Airband we take pride in bringing connectivity to rural areas across the country. Rest assured that our team is working hard to repair the infrastructure which was damaged in this targeted attack. “Mindless vandalism not only wastes time and resources it can potentially impact countless homes and businesses leaving them without internet connections, a mainstay of modern life."
