Vandals sever a fiber line of Time Warner Cable
- Share via
About 40,000 Time Warner Cable Inc. customers in Costa Mesa and Claremont lost access to about 40 channels for several hours Tuesday when vandals cut a fiber-optic line carrying the signals, the company said.
The affected channels included feeds from affiliates of broadcast networks.
The channels went out at about 4:45 p.m., a spokeswoman said.
Time Warner’s high-speed Internet and phone service were not affected. The cable operator said it was working with police regarding a spate of vandalism experienced by the company in recent months.
