It is thought that the three fibre-optic cables to the UK were cut severed by a ship dragging its anchor along the seabed, which also cut a number of other submarine cables in its path.
All communications traffic to and from the Channel Islands is now being routed via the submarine cable link with France.
However, with all traffic now using this connection, the telecoms provider said customers might notice some impact on services.
