AT&T services have been restored in several spots, but are sporadic in others after a power outage in the downtown central office in Akron last night.
The outage caused 911 systems to go down throughout several counties including Summit, Medina and Portage and Stark.
The outage was caused by a burst steam pipe in a switching office, and affected wireless and wire line services.
A company spokesperson said technicians have been working on the problem and services have begun to restore.
As of 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, Medina County Sheriff reported its 911 and non-emergency lines were back online and their system had been restored. Service was also resolved in Brimfield and Mantua.
Services in areas of Portage, Stark and Summit counties were still sporadic.
AT&T said because the issue affects mobile customers, it could be impacting people in other parts of the country as well.
They apologize for any inconvenience.
