CHARLOTTESVILLE (WINA) – Ting internet expects to have all service restored to customers who lost it in Monday evening’s Court Square crash somewhere between 11 tonight and 11am Saturday. It’s the first time estimate the company has given since the 7:30pm crash Monday evening in which a semi took out a utility pole, and the transformer caught on fire.

In 11am Thursday Ting update, the company posted:

“Ting Internet engineers continue to work at restoring service to the affected customers in the Court Sq area. Our latest update from the field is that we can expect full restoration of service within 12 to 48 hours. We apologize for the delay as our crews work through this unprecedented outage.”
