UPDATE: Charter Communications Service Restored
Thousands of Charter Communications customers have had their service restored after vandalism caused a service interruption to cable TV, internet and phone services today.
A vandal believed to be looking for copper wiring cut a fiber optic line this morning disrupting Charter Communications service to thousands of customers in the Pasco, Walla Walla and Ellensburg areas.
A spokesman for Charter Communications says a utility box was broken into near the Blue Bridge sometime around 10 a.m. and crews noticed a fiber optic line had been cut and removed.
