Reports of Spectrum internet outage in parts of North Carolina

GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. IT’S BEEN A VERY INCONVENIENT EVENING FOR MANY ACROSS THE TRIAD. THANKFULLY, THOUGH, THE ISSUES SEEM TO BE IMPROVING FOR SOME SPECTRUM CUSTOMERS. THE WIDESPREAD INTERNET OUTAGE STARTED THIS AFTERNOON, THEN APPEARED TO BE FIXED AROUND 830 TONIGHT, ONLY TO GO OUT AGAIN A FEW MINUTES LATER WITHIN ABOUT THE LAST 30 TO 40 MINUTES, SOME CUSTOMERS HAVE SAID THEIR INTERNET IS WORKING ONCE AGAIN, BUT FOR SOME BUSINESSES THE DAMAGE IS ALREADY DONE. BOBO’S DELI AND GRILL IN WINSTON-SALEM IS ONE OF THE MANY STORES THAT ESSENTIALLY CAME TO A HALT WITH THIS INTERNET OUTAGE. IT KNOCKED EVERYTHING OFFLINE. THEY COULDN’T TAKE ANY CALLS, RUN ANY DEBIT OR CREDIT CARDS. THEY HAD A SIGN POSTED ON THE FRONT DOOR SAYING FOR THAT TIME PERIOD, THEY WERE ONLY TAKING CASH UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. WE HAVEN’T HAD AN CALL AND ORDERS WITH NO PHONE LINES, BUT HONESTLY, UH, YOU KNOW, OUR CUSTOMERS ARE AWESOME. THEY’VE, YOU KNOW, ALL STILL REALLY TURNED OUT FOR US. AND, YOU KNOW, ACCOMMODATED THE CASH ONLY. I WOULD HATE TO TRY AND RUN THE BUSINESS. YOU KNOW, FOR MORE THAN ONE NIGHT. LIKE THIS. A SPOKESPERSON WITH SPECTRUM’S TELLS WXII A THIRD PARTY DAMAGED THEIR FIBER AND TEAMS WERE WORKING AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE
