Spectrum internet outage reported around the desert

Internet outages were causing connection issues for students distance learning and parents working from home Wednesday morning.

The outage appeared to be only affecting Spectrum customers.

Spectrum said it was aware of an issue affecting services for customers in Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado in a Tweet but made no specific mention of California outages.

An internet site, Downdetector showed southern California in an outage, and people on social media were reporting the same thing.

The company's service site said engineers are investigating and are working towards a resolution.

Local educators were emailing and texting messages to parents and students asking to let them know if their child is unable to attend daily Zoom class meetings.
