Windstream customers in North Georgia were happy to get reconnected after an outage on Wednesday left many of them without service. The outage, which happened just before noon on February 16, lasted for several hours.
Windstream spokesperson Scott Morris tells Now Habersham that a contractor installing fiber for another company cut Windstream’s fiber near the intersection of the Highway 82 Spur and Woods Bridge Road in Commerce. The resulting outage impacted “cell towers and some Windstream broadband and cable customers in North Georgia,” he says.
Windstream repair crews spliced in about 4,000 feet of new cable and all services were restored by around 5 p.m. Wednesday.
