Further to this, the clue is in the acronym ..........
Matters Beyond Our Reasonable Control ........... so I find it a tad harsh to have entitled the thread with, "Yet another difficulty with ...... blah blah". This indicates it's down to tardiness in some part on our behalf ??
MBORC is there to protect our commercial interests, and we have to act fairly and transparently at all times. The vast majority of MBORC
has to be pass through our Legal Risk & Equivalence people, before it can be declared.
Examples of MBORC are ..............
Network attacks (ie criminal damage to network apparatus), Damage from very severe weather eg floods or storm, Plant damage by non-BT contractors, PCP or pole damaged in traffic accident, Gas preventing access to underground cables/joints, Foot & Mouth or other Government restrictions, Failure of ferry services preventing Engineer’s access, Fire in Telephone Exchange, Terrorism,Major Incident – (Rail, Air), Fuel Crisis, Hurricane, Ice, Storm, Heavy snowfall, Lightning.
Surely, most folk can see why MBORC may be declared in any of these situations ?? Or is it just me
