Crown Heights Experiencing Internet Outage
Large swaths of Crown Heights have been cut off from the internet due to severed broadband cables, CrownHeights.info has learned.
The affected customers are subscribers of Optimum/Cabelvision. Workers from the company have been spotted on Empire Blvd. hard at work trying to fix the problem.
The company said they are doing everything they can to resolve the issue as soon as possible, though no time frame was given for the resumption of service for those affected.

its in preparation for Obama, tomorrow when he comes it will be turned off again so you cant tweet exactly where he is, phone service as well will be cut off.

You do know you can still go online and tweet without the internet. Also, do you have any thing to back up your claim that phones will be cut? Sounds a tad dramatic, especially since it’s just not true…
Tsk.. Tsk.. Tsk..
Everyone needs to stop bowing down their addicted heads to the internet and dumb Cell phones it is a form of idolatry! Better to keep our ears open to listen to Moshiach!

This is because of Obama’s visit. Not because for the reasoning of the previous poster, but for far more nefarious reasons.
this isn’t coincidence…
IT’S MOSHIACH!!
