Internet goes down after car crashes into pole at Airy Hall
Customers of the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GT&T) in the Catherine, East Coast Demerara area were on Monday evening left without internet service as a result of vehicular accident at Airy Hall, Mahaicony, which damaged a pole and burnt the attached telephone cable. 
According to GT&T, the damage also affected the Suriname/Guyana Terrestrial link.
An emergency crew restored service to that link at 10:51 hours yesterday and the internet at 11:57 hours. The car, a Toyota, was badly burnt.
The company stated that its operations continue to be affected by acts of vandalism, careless excavation and, as in this case, vehicular accidents.
At a recent press conference, Chief Financial Officer (ag), Sonita Jagan, had highlighted the negative effect of vandalism and appealed for the public’s involvement in protecting the facilities that are installed to serve Guyana.
