Summary

In November 2017, a resident reported a multi-day TDS internet outage affecting at least parts of Greene’s Bay and Mrs. Redding’s Trail. The resident later reported that service returned around 3 a.m. on November 11.

Evidence limits

The outage area and restoration time come from a resident’s contemporaneous report; the restoration was said to be detected by connection-monitoring software. No TDS service ticket, outage map, or network-wide measurement is held here.

Sources

  1. A resident reported that TDS service had been unavailable since early Tuesday in at least the Greene’s Bay and Mrs. Redding’s Trail areas and that repair was expected the following week. The same poster later reported restoration at about 3 a.m. using connection-monitoring software. This is a localized resident report, not a TDS outage ticket, network-wide measurement, or independently verified repair timeline.
