Quote:WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — If you had issues getting online, making a call or even watching TV today, you were not alone.
Many people had those problems across the region today, after a fiber was cut in Wilmington.
“Some Spectrum customers in the Wilmington area experienced video, internet, and phone outages due to a fiber cut. Technical teams restored services as quickly as possible. We apologize for any convenience,” said Patrick Paterno, with Charter public relations Carolina region.
Spectrum cable and DIRECTV had TV issues much of the day.
“A connectivity issue is causing a service interruption for some of our customers in Wilmington, Jacksonville and New Bern,” a Verizon Wireless spokeswoman said in an e-mail to WWAY. “Our engineers are working with our vendor partner to resolve this issue quickly.”
The website downdetector.com, which tracks outages, showed hot zones around Wilmington for Verizon, Spectrum and AT&T.
AT&T sent a statement saying they were not aware of any outages. A spokesman says downdetector is not representative or an accurate depiction of their network’s performance or service level.
Complaints we’ve heard have included no cable or Internet service, difficulty making wireless calls and businesses unable to make credit card transactions.

interesting... I haven't had problems... it could be that I am on a prepaid plan or that I have been on wifi most of the day.
That site posting those maps isn't very reliable according to this...

They are a national supplier of internet and cell service, and they dont believe they currently have any outages? Thats almost comic gold right there.
Many of the issues people can experience is provider to provider services being down. I cant tell you how many times my website, network and comcast is operational, yet people in OH on a different provider cant reach us. It seems like every few weeks to every few months we get a severe issue on that. A few cities or a few contiguous states cant reach us, yet everyone else can, and they can reach other sites on different providers.
