Vodafone Sets Jan. 9 Start for Garching Fiber Repair After Weeklong Outage

Crews plan a weather-dependent excavation to replace a defective coupling in the underground supply route.

Overview

  • Up to 243 households have been without cable TV, broadband and landline service in Garching since January 1.
  • Vodafone attributes the disruption to a connection fault that put the local fiber feed temporarily out of service.
  • Local service teams pinpointed the defective coupling through measurements and an on-site inspection and prepared a detailed repair plan with safety provisions for a live main cable.
  • Excavation work is intended to begin Friday with completion targeted within one to two working days, contingent on snow and ground frost.
  • Vodafone apologized to affected customers and asked for patience until service is restored.
