WEST TYRONE SDLP MLA Daniel McCrossan has called on BT to work fast to fix a problem that has left its customers in Strabane without internet access.
Mr McCrossan said: “I have received a number of complaints from my constituents many of whom who have been without internet access since the weekend.
“BT must address this as a matter of urgency. While for domestic properties this may only be an inconvenience, many businesses depend on their internet connection to trade.
“In rural Tyrone internet infrastructure is only becoming more important and intrinsic to our everyday lives.
“I hope BT will also commit to improving their broadband provision here.
BT said in a statement that there had been problems but it was not the work of hackers.
It added that “nearly every customer effected has now been reconnected”.
