Princeton telephone outage traced to switch upgrade fix
Princeton Citizens Telecom officials said a problem that cut phone service last week has been resolved. Steven White noted unknown customer count for Nov. 27 and explained the Y A switch upgrade altered main computer settings, with high traffic stressing the local switch. He compared it to resetting home computer programs and said the issues are fixed and should not recur. Service loss lasted about 30 minutes for Princeton area customers.
