For second time in 3 months, vandals cause Spectrum outage in Shasta County

A widespread outage on Friday morning is affecting Spectrum-Charter Communication customers in Shasta County.

It's the second time in three months there has been an outage, and like the outage in late June, vandals were the culprit, Spectrum spokesman Dennis Johnson said.

The outage was reported just before 7 a.m., according to text messages some customers received from the company.

The outage also is affecting video and phone service, according to Spectrum.

The message said service is expected to be restored around 11:30 a.m. Friday.

In late June, vandals cut lines at Highway 273 and Canyon Road early in the morning, wiping out internet service for Spectrum-Charter and Verizon 4g customers in Shasta County.

The outage lasted for more than 10 hours before service was fully restored.
