Sprint Nextel suffers service outage

By

Thousands of customers of Sprint Nextel wireless and its resellers, such as Virgin Mobile, were without service Monday after the network suffered two separate fiber cuts, a Nextel company spokesman said. It seems like over the past year many cables are being cut. I wonder what the issue is with all these cut power and communications lines!

At about 12:30 p.m. PST, a fiber cut between Palm Springs, Calif., and Phoenix had interrupted service for Sprint Nextel’s wireless, wireline and long-distance customers. Most of the customers affected were on the West Coast. But there were reports of service interruptions in the Midwest and on the East Coast, too.
