Fiber Cut Affects Sprint Service
An AP newswire article, via Yahoo! News, reports that:
Sprint Nextel Corp.'s wireless, long-distance and Internet customers along the West Coast were without service Monday afternoon after a fiber-optic cable was cut west of Phoenix.
The problem was compounded by network repairs near Reno, Nev., that had forced the company to route calls from that region through the Phoenix lines, spokesman John Taylor said.
The cut, between Phoenix and Palm Springs, Calif., happened at about 3:30 p.m. EST, Taylor said. He said he couldn't yet estimate how many customers were affected, or how long it will take to get service re-established.
