Spectrum outage disrupts internet, TV, and phone services across Texas

UPDATE (5:45 P.M.) - Spectrum has released an official update on the ongoing outage of internet service across Texas.

Spectrum released a post on X (formerly Twitter) that the outage has been caused by a third-party infrastructure issue; a result of Hurricane Beryl.

We are aware of the outage currently affecting customers in parts of Texas. The outage is due to a third-party infrastructure issue caused by the impact of Hurricane Beryl. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working with the third party to resolve this as quickly as possible. Thank you.

Our internet service has been down since 12:30 pm. Cell service is unpredictable. 🙄

Apparently a Spectrum tower is down in Houston.

I understand AT&T and Verison are also having issues statewide.

They couldn't get back up from Houston because of Beryl. So, we all were without.

But they don't have anything official.

I followed on reddit via my phone. They had the most up to date info.
