when will at&t service be restored

AT&T currently has a broadband outage in Charleston, South Carolina, caused by a fiber cut in a third party's network. AT&T is actively communicating with the provider to resolve the issue, but no specific timetable for full service restoration has been given yet as of late September 2025. In general, some AT&T outages can take hours to weeks to be resolved depending on the cause, such as fiber cuts, equipment issues, or stolen copper wires, with some customers reporting outages lasting weeks in certain areas. Restoration efforts may involve waiting for parts and may be limited by labor regulations, especially during nights or weekends. Therefore, if the outage is localized like the Charleston case, it is expected to be restored as quickly as possible but no exact date is currently available. For large-scale outages or complex issues, restoration could take considerably longer.
