<span style="background:white">Windstream is continuing to work the plan of action that they outlined earlier today. Plan updates are as follows:1.Technicians continue to investigate possible ice intrusion in splice cases. This work is in progress. The first splice case was found to be in good condition. Technicians are en-route to the 2nd splice case. 2.Complete the fiber distribution panel (FDP) replacement in Genoa, WI. This is expected to improve the span signal loss by 3 Db. 3.The fiber between the Coon Valley central office and the Genoa central office will to be tested. There is considerably higher signal loss in one direction (up to 6 dB of additional loss). The technicians will perform testing after the second splice case inspection/resolution.There is no ETTR at this time.</span></span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="background:white">Windstream has restored the system in one direction by rolling the system to the best available fibers between Genoa and Wisconsin River, WI. Due to excessive loss on the fiber spans because of the cold temperatures last night, it was determined by Field Operations that it was not safe to have splicers working on the poles. For today, the splicing contractor will go to two identified splice cases to investigate a possible ice intrusion, and an FDP panel will be replaced in Genoa pending MOP approval. Fiber testing will also take place between Coon Valley and Genoa, and also from Wisconsin River to Platteville. Service may experience intermittent trouble and is being monitored. There is no ETTR at this time.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
