There has been no Verizon FIOS Internet service in Roosevelt Island’s Riverwalk buildings for the last several hours. I thought it might have something to do with this 6/22 – 23 Public Safety Report:
Telephone Out Of Service – PSD was notified by Verizon that both hospitals had no telephone service. Verizon stated they would have to dig up the ground by Riverwalk. RIOC engineering department was notified.
I inquired of RIOC VP Of Operations Fernando Martinez if he knew what is the cause of the FIOS Internet problem and he replied:
A Hudson/Related landscape contractor, working on the south side of 405 Main Street, accidently cut a Verizon fiber optic cable. Andrew Jackson from the Hudson Companies is on site working with Verizon to the facilitate repair.
Fortunately, internet service is available at the Riverwalk Bar & Grill. They don’t use Verizon FIOC.
7:30 PM – Verizon FIOS Phone service was out too but now all back working.
9:30 PM – A reader adds:
I think these are the folk that cut the FIOS lines, this morning at 9
a.m. at the 405 back door! OOOPS
