Tampa Bay is experiencing internet outages

Spectrum internet service was down in parts of Tampa Bay Saturday morning, according to reports from residents, social media and complaints logged on downdetector.com.

The service tracking website started citing reports of problems in the area around 6:45 a.m. By 8:48 a.m., reports of outages had spiked to over 1,000 in Tampa, with hundreds reported in St. Petersburg and dozens in Clearwater.

On the social media platform X, several Spectrum customers reached out Saturday morning asking for updates in the St. Petersburg area. The account @Ask_Spectrum responded with no specifics as to what caused the outage or how widespread the outage is. The account said “fiber crews are working to repair the cable” and did not have an estimated time for restoration.

Spectrum officials have not replied to a request for more information. This post will be updated.
