Wiltel's cable was cut by a front-loader that was in a disposal yard digging outside of their right-of-way (where they should not have been digging). Wiltel is currently locating their hand-holes. They are stretching out a temporary patch cable using 3M mechanical splices to attempt temporary restoration. No ETR at this time.
