As a valued customer, you can sign up for outage text message alerts. By signing up for these alerts, you will receive a text message when a service outage impacts internet service at your home, when the outage is resolved, and updates in between if the outage lasts more than two hours.
Kindly note that text messages will not be dispatched between 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. in order to avoid disturbing our customers during late evening and early morning hours
To sign up for text message alerts, follow the below steps.
