ROCKLAND Spectrum, the internet service provider with which the City of Rockland uses, reported two fiber breaks in its network causing a mass two-hour outage April 5, just as Rockland Councilors were about to convene to address a substantial business agenda. Consequently, the meeting has been moved to Wednesday, April 7.
The fiber breaks affected service in Maine and New Hampshire. Spectrum has approximately 440,000 residential and business customers in Maine.
“These separate breaks impacted our redundant path, which normally serves as backup, when a break or damage is incurred in a part of the network,” said Heidi Vandenbrouck, a senior communications manager with Charter, Inc., the parent company of Spectrum.
