Infrastructure damage and service outages
are focus of repair efforts
Frontier Communications operations teams are continuing to
repair and assess damages to Frontier’s network in Agua Dulce,
Aransas Pass, Arcola, Baytown, Beach City, Bishop, Bloomington,
Dickinson, League City, Kemah, Mont Belvieu, Ingleside, Orange
Grove, Port O’Conner, Port Lavaca, Portland, Rosharon, Robstown,
Seadrift, Stafford, Taft, and Tivoli.
Frontier serves approximately 200,000 access lines in the South
Texas area. As of midday today, about 100 central offices across
the territory either lack commercial power or are operating on
battery and generator backup. Frontier teams are slowly gaining
access to severely affected areas and are working to identify and
repair damages to poles, pedestals and cables.
The company reminds customers:
· Customers’ voicemail boxes are protected
within Frontier’s network and will continue to operate despite a
power loss.
· Stay far away from downed cables or power
lines.
· In the event of a commercial power outage,
corded phones will still operate. If commercial power is
unavailable, generators and batteries in Frontier’s central offices
serve as backup. Phone lines generally will have enough power in
them to use a corded phone.
Frontier will continue to add repair teams and is committed to
safely restoring communications to affected customers and to
supporting recovery efforts in the communities it serves. Customers
who have questions or need account assistance may contact Frontier
at 800-921-8102 (residential) or 800-921-8101 (business).
