Summary
4:05 p.m. marked the restoration of Spectrum internet service in Buncombe County after a Tuesday morning outage disrupted county phones and services.
Vandals pulled wires down from a utility pole near London Road, causing the large-scale fiber cut that knocked service offline.
911 service was not affected during the outage, county officials said, and the disruption was not tied to a downed tree reported earlier by the sheriff’s office.
Spectrum is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to an arrest and asked tipsters to call 833-404-TIPS.
