restored by 9 a.m., and Fibrant staffers were manually resetting phone service for about
850 telephone customers one customer at a time. All three services went down at 7 a.m.
due to a problem with one of Fibrant’s suppliers, the director said. He said he suspected
the problem was with the supplier who provides the equipment that allows the
network’s brain center, called the headend, to communicate with technology installed at
each home.
