Private contractors told to keep an eye on service lines

Telikom PNG has called on civil contractors to be careful not to destroy telecommunication lines when working.
Contractors working along the lane street at Ela Beach in Port Moresby damaged a fire line last weekend.
This caused an outage where service lines along that route went down.
The fibre link was restored yesterday afternoon and traffic re-routed back to the link to restore normal load.
The technical glitch that disturbed telecommunication services through the country since Monday evening was fixed yesterday.
According to Telikom PNG, the Tiare gateway which provided access to the internet has been fully restored.
“Telikom engineers were at the Boroko and Ela Beach exchanges to investigate and attend to the glitch in the system,” Telikom said.
