Severed fiber optic line affects internet service, shuts down city website
Jun. 6—TAOS — A fiber optic cable operated by Lumen Technologies was severed near the Big 5 store in Taos on Monday, disrupting cellphone and internet service throughout Taos County and in parts of Santa Fe County.
The outage affected customers of Verizon Wireless, Taos Net and CenturyLink, as well as service for local radio stations.
Officials with the city of Santa Fe said in a news release Tuesday morning the severed line had shut down the city's website. Crews were still working to fix the cable and restore service "for our host Brownrice (Internet) and other cell/internet service providers," the news release said. Officials expected the city's website to be restored by the end of the day.
