Jay, an obvious cut, like a backhoe dug up a cable or a pole taken out
by an accident, maybe 8-12 hours or so, yea. The cut we just
experienced was a number of broken strands at different places along a
mile or so of aerial cable. They spent a lot of time troubleshooting
where the breaks were and then actually repairing took I think about 6
hours, they ended up replacing a 3/4 mile section. Never got
information about what actually caused the damage on that one. I've
also heard some stories locally of extended repair times due to
flooding, where a road (and a cable) was washed out and it took
several days to even regain access to the site to start working on
repairs.

figured the average was eight hours or so. Per their update, "a problem exists
at the core". I had never heard of Momentum, I wondered if they actually went
under or something. I appreciate the dialogue.

Unfortunately, we still do not have an ETA on when the outage will be resolved.
Please know our board, management, and Sprout team find this is as unacceptable
as you do and this is not how we treat our subscribers. We will make this
right. We will ensure this type of issue does not occur again.

received so far is that the carrier has their engineers testing the connection
and the only explanation is "difficulties at the core." It's not good news as
we still have not been giving a cause, location or ETA. We will continue to
work with the carrier until the issue is resolved and all of our subscribers
are back online. We know everyone's patience, including ours, is wearing thin
due to the lack of information and resolution. We will pass along any new
information as it becomes available.

Unfortunately, the short answer is we still do not have an ETA of when service
will be restored and we still do not know the cause. The issue is in the
connection from Atlanta via an internet carrier to us. There is no damage or
cause on our side of the connection.
