Yesterday an automobile accident occured in the Eden area that severely damaged Bright Speed phone services in the area. Yesterday an estimated time of restoration was given, but the issue has not yet been resolved. Calling in Eden area schools, Central Office, and calls to the Help Desk are still affected as a result of this. Outbound calling and interoffice calling is still functional, however inbound calling will continue to be an issue until Bright Speed can resolve the issue and repair the damaged line.
