This is an update to the announcement we made last week after BT Openreach declared what they refer to as an 'MBORC' in certain areas of the country.

This 'MBORC' declaration was announced following severe bouts of weather, particularly across areas of Scotland.

We have now received notification that the MBORC has been lifted. A copy of the latest announcement from BT Openreach can be seen below:

"Following heavy snow falls and freezing temperatures in parts of Scotland Openreach declared a matter beyond our reasonable control (MBORC)/force major event effective from 08.00 on 3rd March 2010.

The MBORC has been in place in the following areas

* North East Scotland
* Tayside and Fife
* South East Scotland
* West Central Scotland

We have been closely monitoring the situation in Scotland and we are pleased to announce that due to improving weather conditions, our service has returned to normal and therefore we are able to completely lift the MBORC, with effect from 08.00 on Wednesday 10th March."

Kind Regards,
