Network Outage Hits Houston Amid Hurricane Beryl
As Hurricane Beryl sweeps through the Gulf Coast, Houston faces a significant network outage. Our services have been disrupted due to major carriers—Cogent, Zayo, and Lumen—all experiencing offline status.
Our facility and network teams are actively collaborating with carrier engineers to assess the situation and determine the expected downtime. We understand the inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience during this challenging time. Rest assured, we are working diligently to restore full service as quickly as possible.
Power Outages and Business Impact
The loss of connectivity has directly affected businesses across the city. Critical operations, communication channels, and data centers have been compromised. Companies are grappling with downtime, hindering productivity and revenue streams. Power outages exacerbate the situation, leaving offices and facilities in the dark.
Hurricane Beryl’s Impact on Texas
While the hurricane’s projected path veers northwest, there is still an increased chance of Beryl impacting parts of the Texas Gulf Coast. Although it won’t be as ferocious as its assault on the southern Windward Islands, precautions are necessary. The current track suggests Beryl will weaken to a tropical storm over the Yucatan Peninsula before potentially becoming a hurricane again near the Mexico-Texas border. Houston residents should remain vigilant and stay informed about local advisories.
Precautions and Recovery Efforts
As we navigate this challenging situation, our thoughts are with those affected by Hurricane Beryl. Updates regarding service restoration in Houston will be provided as more information becomes available.
Stay safe and resilient during these trying times.
