Summer Service Levels for 2025-26 holiday period
28 Oct 2025
In line with the seasonal dip in demand for connectivity, Devoli and our LFC partners will operate with reduced team capacity during the 2025-26 summer break so that our people can enjoy their own well-earned time off.
While team capacity will be reduced, services will still be monitored 24/7 throughout the break and any unexpected issues responded to as usual to ensure continuity for your business.
