An as yet unexplained outage left much of rural Nevada without telephone or internet service for much of Tuesday.
Roughly corresponding to AT& T’s service area, phone and internet service was off for most of the vast Nevada outback from Winnemucca to Ely and as far south as Caliente and Pahrump according to reports.
Some if not most cel phone service was also interrupted.
“Service was cut,” said a spokesman from the White Pine county Sheriff’s Department. “We were not given an explanation.”
Telephone and internet service in most of elko county serviced by Frontier Communications was not affected nor was service in Wendover, Utah with service provided by Centracom.
