Being on vacation on Maui, I hardly even noticed the outage until I heard
about it later this evening. :-)

FYI:

An Oceanic Time Warner Cable Internet service outage hit the entire state
for hours on Tuesday.

Viewers from the Big Island and Maui reported problems receiving television
cable reception and/or phone calls on Tuesday morning. Oceanic Time Warner
Cable said it had a problem with its fiber optic cable.

Oceanic Time Warner Cable Vice President Norman Santos said the cable
between the islands was severed about 30 miles south of Kihei. The cable is
about 3,000 feet below sea level, Santos said.

The outage began at 1:10 a.m. Service was lost to Kauai and Oahu for about
two hours, Oceanic said.
