Summary
Verizon restored mobile and internet service in parts of Southern California within hours after vandals cut multiple fiber cables, disrupting customers across the region.
Multiple severed lines triggered the outage, and Verizon said repairs began immediately while law enforcement opened an investigation into the damage.
Verizon called the attack a direct threat to community safety and said it is pushing awareness and preventive measures against infrastructure vandalism and theft.
The disruption came a day after a separate weekend outage that affected voice service for some wireless customers, extending a rough stretch for the carrier.
