Summary
Spectrum said an intentionally cut fiber optic line near 4200 Sherman Way in Montgomery caused a widespread Thursday morning outage across Alabama's River Region.
The company called the damage a criminal attack on its infrastructure and said such incidents have become an industrywide concern because they can disrupt emergency-service connectivity.
Service to residents and businesses has since been restored, and Spectrum is offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to an arrest through its 833-404-TIPS line.
The case adds to a broader pattern of telecom infrastructure vandalism highlighted by the National Cable & Telecommunications Association in a June 2025 overview.
