According to Brendan Cowan of the San Juan County Department of Emergency Management, “CenturyLink landline service (including 911) and internet was not impacted by this outage, and Verizon wireless appears to be unimpaired. Rock Island backup systems appear to be providing voice service to T-Mobile customers (including 911), but AT&T mobile service appears to be completely down.”
