Weeks-long outage shows need for better broadband: ‘Internet is now as essential to life as clean water’
A neighborhood in the southwest part of the county spent most of October and December without internet or landline phone service, owing to back-to-back, weeks-long broadband outages.
Those outages left at least five households along Charlie Cooper Road offline for a combined 51 days within that span of time.
The neighborhood where the outages took place is located in a rural part of the county, between Siler City and Liberty, and runs along the Rocky River to the west and U.S. 421 to the east.
