Engineers and technicians from both Cobridge and AT&T worked as a team to repair the cut AT&T fiber, located about 50 miles North of Longview, TX. "The efforts of both Cobridge and AT&T employees helped in resolving this issue in a more expeditious manner. I thank our employees from both sides for their cooperation," said Cobridge CEO Scott Widham.
Cobridge internet customers in Marshall, whose accounts were in good standing at the time of the outage, should expect to see a credit for 2 1/2 days of internet services within the next two bill cycles.
Cobridge purchased the Marshall system from Charter Communications in October 2010, and last month launched Cobridge Voice, a high-speed internet linked digital phone service to residential customers.
