Brightspeed network damaged by February 2 fire
FROM FACEBOOK__Brightspeed shared the following message with the Ada Area Chamber of commerce on the morning of Wednesday, February 4:
We are very sorry to hear that the fire that caused significant damage to our network also destroyed Viva Maria restaurant. Just as high-speed connectivity is important to build a thriving community, so are local businesses like Viva Maria. While this community gathering place is now closed, we are hopeful that it will be rebuilt and welcome us again. In the meantime, we have crews on site beginning the restoration and repair process of our damaged network. We ask for your patience while we work quickly and safely to get our customers in Ada back online soon.
