Boise, Idaho • Some CenturyLink customers across the country were without the internet as outages stretched from New York to California.
The company said on Twitter Thursday that its network was "experiencing a disruption" and that it was working to quickly restore services. It provided no other details, including how many customers were affected. CenturyLink didn't respond to a request for comment.
Jessica Rosenworcel, a member of the Federal Communications Commission, said via Twitter that this was a "nationwide outage" and her agency needed to investigate.
The Idaho Statesman reports that the internet problems led to the temporary shutdown of phone services at the Idaho Department of Correction and the state's Department of Education.
