A Monday outage left some CenturyLink customers in the Jefferson City area without internet for several hours.
The outage affected primarily business customers, CenturyLink spokeswoman Nancy DeVinay-McNeley told the News Tribune.
Damage to a fiber line by a third party caused the roughly five-hour outage, she said, noting the company still is investigating the incident.
Affected customers' service went offline around 10 a.m. Monday and began working again around 3 p.m.
"We do apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused our customers," DeVinay-McNeley said.
