Update 8:30 a.m. — On Wednesday, Cablevision notified customers that it would be refunding them for Tuesday’s service charges.
Citing “multiple hardware failures” as the cause for Tuesday’s widespread outages, the company said it has expanded “hardware redundancy” to avoid the problem in the future.
“We want to apologize for lost internet service yesterday. We know you may have been quite frustrated because of the outage, which is the
last thing we’d want, so again, we’re very sorry,” the email to customers said.
“In the meantime we wanted to inform you that we’ll be issuing a credit
for a day’s service which will be reflected on an upcoming monthly
statement,” the email said.
