As ice kept on snapping tree limbs all over Maine, Spectrum clients on Saturday managed another loss of digital TV and web access.
Saturday's blackout started before 1 p.m. also, went on until around 5 p.m., said Lara Pritchard, ranking executive for correspondences in the Northeast for Charter Communication, Spectrum's parent organization. Pritchard said the blackout for its Maine clients was brought about by "harmed fiber" in the organization's fiber optic system and influenced for the most part TV administration, however some web access was upset too.
Range clients in Maine lost TV and network access for a few hours during the ice storm Friday before it was reestablished at night. The organization posted on Twitter at 12:55 p.m. Saturday that it knew about "administration issues" in Maine, just as New Hampshire and upstate New York. The post said the organization was exploring and attempting to determine the issue, and apologized for any bother.
"It's been troublesome, accessing the territory for fixes, until force and tempest related harm have been cleared," Pritchard said Saturday evening. She didn't recognize the area or areas.
Regions influenced by Saturday's blackout incorporated the eastern segment of South Portland, over the Fore River from Portland. Around two dozen occupants of that zone posted on Facebook early Saturday evening that they had lost satellite TV administration, yet at the same time had web. Individuals living in Augusta, Gardiner, Randolph, Farmingdale, Waterville, Newcastle, and Old Orchard Beach likewise posted messages Saturday saying they were without Spectrum TV administration.
Friday's tempest covered Maine's trees and electrical cables with a substantial coating of ice, and on Saturday the snap of branches could be heard intermittently on a stroll through practically any area. Not at all like a snowstorm or wind storm, where harm to utility lines is obvious once the tempest is finished, Mainers who have managed ice storms know the harm from ice-loaded branches falling can cover a more drawn out timeframe.
The Spectrum blackout on Friday started around 4 p.m. at the point when the fiber optic system that conveys web access to New England was harmed in two areas, said Pritchard, who declined to pinpoint the areas.
The ice storm hampered access to the climate harmed link on Friday, with streets shut and trees down in that area, she said. It wasn't clear if the blackout was identified with an issue that appeared to be influencing administration somewhere else in the Northeast, as announced by the site Down Detector.
