The internet and telephone services of the users were restored after restoring the network. Reports say that around 4,200 internet lines were disrupted, out of which, 126 users in Ririe were not even having the \u201cdial tone service.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe\u2019re horrified by this too,\u201d said CenturyLink\u2019s Market Development Manager Megan Griffin. \u201cWe had a team out there all night long with backhoes working diligently. Imagine being out in the middle of the night digging and digging through 18 inches of frozen ground. It was like digging through cement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThey spliced new fiber in where it was cut. When it all came back up, it all came back up (at the same time). It took it time to process,\u201d she said. Griffin confirmed that the fiber was cut at about 03:11 p.m. and the reason is not known yet. Shortly after that, some of the CenturyLink users who managed to get some internet connection, through some other provider, got on social media asking if any of the other CenturyLink users were experiencing disruption in their services.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For around three hours, many restaurants and businesses were unable to accept any credit or debit cards as their internet services were down. However, Griffin was unable to confirm if this happened due to the cable cut. Yet she added that shortly after they learned that there was an interruption in the internet services, CenturyLink employees searched the snowy and cold weather to find and fix the problem.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2110\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2110\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2110\" class=\"wp-image-2110 size-medium\" title=\"CenturyLink Fiber\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/TV-Providers-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"TV Providers\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/TV-Providers-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/TV-Providers-1.jpg 620w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2110\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong><em>CenturyLink Phone<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe had people around the clock on site in those horrible, horrible temperatures. The ground was frozen to 18 inches deep. It\u2019s a pretty difficult dig to locate the problem and obviously rectify the problem,\u201d Griffin said. Although CenturyLink received many phone calls after the outage, Griffin said that everyone who called was good and understanding. \u201cThere are always people who are frustrated. We do our best to inform them as to what&#8217;s going on to work to get back up,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Griffin was very much pleased with the work of the CenturyLink technicians to restart the internet and telephone services very quickly. \u201cOur line was cut, and we fixed it. It was far quicker than anyone could have imagined. Those techs worked very hard. It&#8217;s very difficult to access (a cable) on a hillside on frozen ground,\u201d she said. \u201cI&#8217;m very proud of the work our team did.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, the fiber network of CenturyLink was cut in Rexburg, and it was restored after forty-eight hours.
