Broadstripe Responds Quickly After Lawn Crew Cuts Cable
SEATTLE, June 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Yesterday, Monday June 13th at approximately 2:45PM there was a cut to Broadstripe's fiber-optic line that impacted Broadstripe customers in Duvall, Echo Lake, Issaquah, Redmond, and Sammamish in Washington State.

The damage to Broadstripe fiber optic cable was accidentally caused by a county lawn moving crew working on Issaquah-Fall City Road in Duvall.
