🚨🚨🚨BrightSpeed Lines 🚨🚨🚨

Brightspeed has reported multiple fiber cuts throughout the state. This has resulted in land lines not being able to receive or make calls. When dialing 9-1-1 you may only hear it ringing or a busy signal. These calls are not able to reach dispatch until the Fiber Cuts are repaired.
