— from Meg Andrews, CenturyLink Marketing & Media Relations —

Because of the recent outage caused by the undersea fiber optic cable cut, CenturyLink is actively working on a solution for out of service adjustments.

We know and understand that the outage was a hardship for all impacted customers in the San Juan Islands and we appreciate your patience while we consider all options and formulate a plan. We will continue to communicate our progress.
