DSL Outage Hits Some AT&T Customers

An AP newswire article, via SFGate.com, reports that:

AT&T Inc. customers in the Southeast United States were unable to connect to the Internet through their DSL service for several hours Monday night because of an equipment problem, a company spokesman said.

Michael Coe, a spokesman for the San Antonio-based telecommunications company, said the digital subscriber line service was restored about 10 p.m. CST. Customers in nine states in the company's Southeast region were affected.

"The root cause of the disruption is still being investigated but appears to be an equipment impairment," Coe said in a statement.

Coe said the outage affected customers in Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky and Tennessee.
