Widespread GCI outages caused by intentionally damaged cable, company says

A GCI internet and wireless outage that frustrated customers around the state late Saturday and Sunday was caused by an intentionally damaged fiber-optic cable, the company said Sunday afternoon.

The cable break happened in Midtown Anchorage, said GCI spokeswoman Heather Handyside. The company is investigating how the line was damaged, she said. …

Handyside said she didn’t know of another instance where an intentional cut caused a service outage. She would not say where the damaged cable was located, and if it was accessible to the public.
