A full restoration of internet and some cellphone service could take up to two months.
Quintillion contractors laid some 1,200 miles of fiber-optic cable off Alaska’s northern and northwestern coasts in the summer of 2017 to connect to an overland fiber cable that the company extended from Fairbanks to Prudhoe Bay.
Quintillion’s president, Mike McHale, said a full restoration of internet and some cellphone service could take up to two months. According to a statement Monday from Quintillion, service on the subsea fiber optic network was interrupted over the weekend after a fiber cut caused a system-wide outage. Initial assessments indicate an offshore cut north of Oliktok Point, near Prudhoe Bay.The broken line is 34 miles offshore at a depth of about 90 feet. A pair of ships are being mobilized to aid in the repair.
