In Rångedala Telia has been visited by small but destructive animals: ants. These have caused interference in the network. Something Borås Tidning previously written about.

– In the summer the ants into the cottages and houses and they do not care about each, says Hans G. Larsson, Communications at Telia.

However, Unlike a normal residential has ants attacking a technical buildings at the mast in Rångedala. Therefore, the invasion took a while to spot.

– There is a small technical buildings that technicians only go out if they need to repair something. And then they got into a disturbance and when the technician arrived, they discovered a myrinvasion says Hans G. Larsson.

In order to overcome the problem they have now contacted Anticimex.

– We need the help of Anticimex who can come there and do something so the ants do not come back again. Now the situation is that we are waiting for Anticimex. But the answer today or tomorrow, I can not say, says Hans G. Larsson.

The disruption affects Rångedala where the parent mast there, and also the mast northeast, Älvestad. It means that Telia’s mobile customers who are areas around Toarpsdal, Mone, Komlösa and Borgstena also may notice the disturbance.

– Highway 40 runs through this area, too, but it’s obviously always sad that our customers can not call. Then it happens to be ants this time, there is not much to do about it, says Hans G. Larsson.

How many people are affected can not say exactly.

– Even if it is a little comic detail in this one must not forget that there are customers who have trouble call. How many there are depends on how many are in the area. It is a bit difficult to judge, says Hans G. Larsson, Communications at Telia.

In an email could Hans G. Larsson later in the afternoon to announce that the ants are removed policyholders. Traffic should now work as usual.
