Residents in Perthshire had issues with their broadband after a major fibre cable was damaged.
Excavation work was talking place on a flyover on the A9 at Ballinluig when the cable was damaged on Tuesday by a third party.
But on Wednesday morning, people in Strathtay, Aberfeldy, Kenmore, Ballinluig and Pitlochry were still without internet access.
@EE Internet has been down in Aberfeldy since yesterday evening, any estimate on when it will be back?

Breadalbane Academy in Aberfeldy was unable to make or receive phone calls and emails due to the outage.
Openreach confirmed some customers were reconnected by Wednesday afternoon and that all services had been restored by 2.30am on Thursday.
The firm said fixing the issue was a “complex task”.
The incident echoes a similar one in Fife from earlier this month when thousands in the north-east of the county were left without broadband after a cable was accidentally damaged by road workers.
