‘Prolonged’ internet outage in North Slope & Northwest: Quintillion blames optic cable break
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) – The president of Quintilian blamed an optic cable break for a North Slope & Northwest Alaska internet outage that will take an undefined amount of time to fix.
“It appears there was a subsea fiber optic cable break near Oliktok Point, and the outage will be prolonged,” Quintillion President Michael “Mac” McHale said in a short statement provided by a company spokesperson. “We are working with our partners and customers on alternative solutions.”
The statement mirrored what the company released Saturday morning on social media.
So far, the company has not provided a specific timeline for the repair’s next steps.
