CenturyLink fiber optic cable down along Old Georgetown Road in Bethesda (Photos)


A CenturyLink fiber optic cable fell down on the sidewalk outside 7830 Old Georgetown Road several weeks ago, but the company has yet to come out to make repairs. It's unknown how many CenturyLink customers in Bethesda are impacted by this broken connection. Electric utility Pepco has even sent a crew out to investigate, after apparently receiving calls from good Samaritans who thought it might be theirs. Pepco has attached a sticker to essentially state that, "Nope, it's not ours," but reminding people not to come into contact with any wire they see down on the ground.

CenturyLink, renamed Lumen Technologies in 2020, includes the remnants of GTE that were spun off in their merger with Bell Atlantic to form Verizon; Embarq, the landline operations of Sprint; and Qwest, which included the Baby Bell US West.

So it's basically all the landline operations that did not get included in Verizon or AT&T.
