In San Antonio, Spectrum said five vandalism incidents have caused service disruptions, damaging its fiber optic network infrastructure across the metro area.
The incidents include:
March 5: Around the 23000 block of U.S. Hwy 281
April 7: Along the U.S. Hwy 90 and Loop 1604 access road
April 26: Along Loop 1604 near Spanish Grant Road
May 3: Around the 8800 block of Presa Street

In Kansas City, three Spectrum fiber optic lines were cut in the area on May 17, according to a spokesperson for the company. One cut was to the primary network and another to a third-party network that was in place to provide backup. This disruption impacted thousands from homes near KCI Airport to restaurants south of the Plaza. Restoration to the lines began that Saturday and was completed early Sunday morning. Crews say they worked a 30-hour shift Saturday to restore access to customers.
Google Fiber lines in the Kansas City area were also purposely cut, and a police report was filed, a company representative said. In a statement, Andy Simpson, the general manager for Google Fiber’s central region, pointed to “strong evidence of vandalism.”
On May 29, another fiber cut by vandals impacted some customers in the Kansas City area. The fiber that was cut is located in a difficult-to-access wooded area.
