IMU Fiber

UPDATE 8:30PM - We have received notice that the repair crews are now hands off the fiber and service has been restored. We are back to full capacity on our main route. For customers experiencing issues with DVR recordings, those should also now be resolved. Once again we apologize for the inconvenience and we would like to thank you for being an IMU Fiber customer. We hope you have a great weekend!

IMU Fiber has been notified by our service partner that our main transport line has been cut by construction crews in Des Moines. Crews are on site and actively working to fix that connection. We have been given 10:00pm as the estimated time to recovery. We are currently providing service on our backup route and will continue to do so until the main line is fixed. This route currently does not have the same capacity as our main transport line, so you may experience slower speeds as we work through our peak usage time this evening. TV customers may experience picture quality issues on channels 35 and above. If you are able to limit your internet usage between now and 10:00pm that would be appreciated. We apologize for the inconvenience and will update you on progress as we get reports.

Each Spring and Fall, cable companies experience a technical phenomenon called "sun outages." For a period of about a week, the sun causes "solar interference" to all geostationary TV satellite signals. As the sun's path across the sky gets lower each day, there are times when it is in a direct line behind a communication satellite that is sending signals to a receiving satellite dish here on earth. When the dish antenna is looking into the sun, the interference from the sun overrides the signals from the satellite. This is when a sun outage occurs.

Sun outages occur during the months of February/March and September/October and can last as long as 15 minutes a day and take place over a period of up to 10 days. The effects of a sun outage vary in degree from minimal to total outage throughout the 7 day period. Once it reaches its peak, the interference will gradually decrease becoming less noticeable each day after.

Unfortunately, there is technically nothing we can do to prevent sun outages from occurring. Each satellite service that we receive signals from will experience this interference at predictable times.

Approximate dates and times of the outages will be from March 2nd 2022 to March 6th 2022. Times and durations for individual channels will vary.
