Arizona Outage: Banks Shut Down After CenturyLink Fiber Failure Kills Internet, Phones





http://bit.ly/1zfNXza PRESCOTT - A failure in a fiber line owned by CenturyLink just before noon Wednesday, Feb. 25, cut telephone and Internet service for customers across northern Arizona. Alex Juarez, a spokesman for CenturyLink, said the company dispatched technicians to find a break was somewhere near the Interstate 17 corridor, north of Deer Valley, but possibly as far north as the Camp Verde area. Juarez said the outage extended across the north-central part of the state, from the Prescott area, to Cottonwood and Flagstaff. Just before 3 p.m., he said crews had located the problem. However, he said at that time he was unable to give an estimated time for repairs. Yavapai County Sheriff's Office spokesman Dwight D'Evelyn said 911 calls in Yavapai County may not be answered on the first try. He asked callers to keep trying if they can't get through. http://bit.ly/1BxejBI
