Comcast working to fix fiber line, restore service to 12,000 in Fresno. Here’s the latest

About 12,000 Comcast customers in north-central Fresno were without service Tuesday after a construction crew working on Barstow Avenue just west of Blackstone inadvertently cut a fiber line.

Internet and cell phone service in the area was impacted starting around 10:30 a.m., while crews worked to splice the fibers in the line back together.

Comcast officials said the company was hoping to have full service restored by 7 p.m.
