A regional outage of Spectrum internet service continues to plague customers across parts of Montana.
We have received unconfirmed reports that the outage is due to a damaged fiber-optic cable, but Spectrum has not released any information about the outage, other than to confirm there is an “issue” and that technicians are working to get things running again.
We are continuing to try to get information from Spectrum about the outage, and also talk with businesses in Great Falls that are affected.
We do not yet know if customers will be credited on their bills for the service outage.
We will update you if we get more details.
