The company said the determination was made based on the nature of the fiber cuts, the extent of damage, and the makeup of impacted customers. In all, more than 50,000 residential customers and more than 500 business customers were affected for up to 30 hours.

An internet outage across large parts of Long Beach was caused by someone who intentionally cut fiber optic lines “in a criminal act of vandalism,” according to a spokesperson for Spectrum. The cable company was notified of the vandalism “early this morning,” affecting parts of Long Beach and Signal Hill, Spectrum spokesperson Pam Collazo said.

The June 15 attack severed 13 cables, impacting emergency services, a U.S. military base, and over 50,000 customers in the Van Nuys area.
