A significant fiber optic cable cut by an external company has caused an extensive internet outage across Marlboro County, South Carolina, affecting all Sandhill Internet services with repair expected to take a lengthy period due to the damage's scale.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Telecom & Connectivity.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face an open opportunity as Marlboro County’s internet service is down for an extended period. Pitch alternative connectivity solutions or resilience offerings since Sandhill Internet cannot deliver until repairs finish.
