More than 12,000 DSL customers of Verizon Online, including some in Brownwood, were without Internet access Friday afternoon and evening.
Bill Kula, a spokesman for Verizon in Dallas, said a fiber optic line was cut north of San Angelo by a maintenance crew that is not employed by Verizon.
The cut of the line interrupted Verizon's high-speed Internet service to more than 12,000 customers in Brownwood and San Angelo. The outage did not affect telephone service.
The outage had not been repaired by early evening Friday, but technicians were on the scene north of San Angelo to make repairs, Kula said.
