    (The Center Square) - Spectrum technicians are working to restore internet
    and streaming service in Los Angeles and Ventura County after someone cut
    the company�s fiber optic lines Saturday.

    Spectrum customers living in the Los Angeles area experienced a temporary telecommunications outage early Sunday morning after someone vandalized
    the company�s network. Spectrum told The Center Square in a statement
    Monday that similar crimes have been happening to other companies due to
    the increase in the price of precious metals such as copper, which have
    been used in telecommunication lines. But fiber optic lines, such as the
    one used by Spectrum and other companies, don't include copper.

    Spectrum technicians restored service in Ventura County by Monday morning,
    but are still working to restore services in the Los Angeles area,
    according to the company's most recent post on X. (There were customers in Ventura County who had service restored by mid-Sunday morning.)

    Spectrum thanked customers affected by the crime for being patient while
    they restore their service, and said the company plans to provide a full-
    day credit to them. Spectrum also said the credit will appear on their
    next bill and that no action is necessary by customers.

    �These acts of vandalism are not only a crime, but also affect our
    customers, local businesses and potentially emergency services,� Spectrum
    said.

    Spectrum said it is working with the Los Angeles Police Department to find
    the suspect(s) and encourages people to bring forth information to
    Spectrum at 833-404-TIPS (8477) or the LAPD.

    Spectrum is also offering a reward up to $25,000 to those who provide
    credible information of the crime that leads to the arrest of any individual(s).

    When reached by The Center Square, the LAPD had no further details.

    November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
    forward to America being great again.

    We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
    stupid people won't be offended.

    Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.

    Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama
    / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.

    Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
    The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
    queer liberal democrat donors.
