Users Report of Nationwide CenturyLink Internet Outage

Are you having trouble accessing your CenturyLink internet today? Well, you're not alone. From a report: Several Treasure Valley residents reached out to KTVB Thursday morning to report they had no access to their CenturyLink internet or in some cases, their phone services. Some KTVB employees experienced the outage as well. A KTVB employee who uses the internet service provider called CenturyLink customer service. The customer service associate said they are aware of the outage for the 208 area code and technicians are working on a fix. He added there were similar outages in other states across the country. Downdetector.com indicated issues began being reported a little before 2 a.m. MST.

As far as a cause, the CenturyLink representative could not comment. The associate said the outage could last anywhere from 24 to 48-hours. CenturyLink released a statement to Newsweek explaining that its network 'is experiencing a disruption affecting customer services.' 'We know how important these services are to our customers and we are working to restore services as quickly as possible,' CenturyLink's statement continued.
