COLUMBIA, S.C. — Spectrum outages were reported across the Midlands Thursday afternoon. Services affected appeared to include internet, wi-fi, TV and phone.
When News 19 reached out out to Spectrum by phone, we heard a message saying the company is experiencing a high volume of calls and were referred to their website.
However, one of the company's branded X (formerly known as Twitter) posted the following:
We are aware of an outage affecting customers in the Carolinas. We are unable to offer an estimated time of repair, but crews are working to restore services as quickly as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
Replies to that message indicated the outage was not limited to South Carolina, with reports also posted from Tennessee and Virginia, as well.
Just before 8 p.m., some 4 hours after outages were reported, Spectrum reached out to let know us know that all outages had been resolved.
No word yet as to the cause of the outages or how widespread it was.
