New North Escambia Fiber Service Was Down More Than A Full Day. Here’s Why.
September 17, 2023
The new fiber internet service in North Escambia was down over 28 hours over the weekend due to a fiber cut outside the area.
Connect powered by Escambia River Electric Cooperative went down about 4:15 p.m. Saturday. Service was restored about 8:30 p.m. Sunday.
According to the company’s customer service department, a large boring machine damaged a significant portion of the main fiber that connects Conexon Connect customers in Escambia County, the Big Bend area of Florida, and an area in Georgia.
Repairs were hampered by wet ground conditions and no estimated time of repair was available as of Sunday afternoon.
