Hundreds in Wolverhampton without a phone line for days
Hundreds of residents in Wolverhampton have been left without a phone line for more than 10 days after an underground cable fault.

The problem in Tettenhall started on August 5 and originally left 480 phone lines down.
BT bosses say there are still 340 homes without a line – and temporary lights have today been installed at the junction of Hordern Road and Aldersley Road as engineers dig up the carriageway.
But they do not yet know when the issue will be fixed.
BT spokeswoman Amy Walker apologised and said: "Engineers spent much of last week trying to install a new underground cable without success and have established that new underground boxes and duct are required."
