Is your Spectrum Cable out? We lost service here at the station, and understand it may be quite a large area.

We are working to find out what happened.

We continue to investigate.

No cause nor estimated time of service returning was initially provided.

My non-Spectrum ISP uses Spectrum segments, so this is also affecting non-Spectrum customers (I'm using my Verizon phone as a hotspot now).
