Costly CenturyLink phone outage

Posted

Dear Editor,

Christopher Kelly’s article last week was the best information I’ve received in regards to CenturyLink’s phone outage in the Nederland area. Not only was there a disruption of service in mid-September, but it has been ongoing since then with no resolution to the problem in sight. The online message I get is that “There is an outage in your area and we are working to restore service.”

I rely on my phone for my business, Top Coverage Roofing, and potential customers are unable to reach me directly or leave a message. This is usually our busiest time of year preceding winter, and thousands of dollars of income may have already been lost. I encourage anyone experiencing the same phone issue complain to CenturyLink with any means available to them.

In the meantime, Top Coverage Roofing may be reached at dave.gibson.images@gmail.com. Providing the mountain community with quality, dependable service for 40 years,

Dave Gibson
