Internet users from Brooklyn to Philadelphia suffered slow to nonexistent service Saturday after equipment at a New York-area network hub broke down, disrupting service for several hours.
A spokesman for the Internet service provider Level 3 Communications Inc. LVLT +0.25% said technicians were working quickly to fix the outage, which cascaded down to customers using Cablevision Systems Corp.’s CVC -0.45% Optimum service and Time Warner Cable Inc., TWC -0.36% among others.
“Maintaining a high-performing, efficient network for customers is our top priority,” Level 3 spokesman Jon Paul McLeary said. “At this time, we do not have an estimated time when service will be restored.”
