Complete outage on Shetland leaves phones, internet and computers unusable
Shetland Police tweeted early on Thursday morning that"engineers are working to fix a complete outage affecting its connection to the main line".
"Officers will continue to patrol the area and we will give you an update on the situation as soon as we have more information," the tweet added. It is not yet clear whether the line disrupted affects all communications or electricity on the islands. The Shetland Times reported that the disruption could last until Saturday and said BT had texted customers to say it was trying to fix a"major outage".
Shetland is about 100 miles from the north coast of Scotland and 16 of its islands are inhabited, with a population of around 23,000.
