Time Warner phone and Internet service restored

Time Warner Cable Inc. telephone and Internet service was restored to Southern California customers Sunday afternoon after an hours-long outage.

Thousands of Southland residents lost service just after 7 a.m. Sunday, a Time Warner spokesman said.

"In the last few hours TWC engineers deployed a fix that has restored an intermittent service issue in SoCal," spokesman Jim Gordon said. "Customers can reboot their modems but that step is only necessary if they continue to experience an issue. We apologize for any inconvenience."
