The Federal Communications Commission said it is investigating a
nationwide CenturyLink Inc. (CTL) outage that affected 911 service,
calling it "completely unacceptable."
According to media reports, the CenturyLink outage began
Thursday, contributing to problems including busy signals on 911
lines, issues at ATMs and service interruptions for some Verizon
Communications (VZ) wireless customers.
On Thursday night, CenturyLink tweeted that a "network element"
had affected service, and said mid-day Friday that it was "seeing
good progress," but restoration isn't complete.
