A semi truck hit the Frontier fiber cable on Tuesday, May 7, on Highway 95 near Lincoln Street. It caused county wide internet and landline phone outages, as well as into Montana. The Boundary County Sheriffs Office worked quickly to reroute 911 calls, and businesses suffered some troubles in the hours that followed. Frontier worked quickly to solve the problem and get phone and internet services restored by Tuesday evening.
