\nCenturyLink customers have been experiencing outages for most of Thursday.<\/p>\n

James Martin\/CNET <\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It may be the most wonderful time of the year, but not for CenturyLink.<\/p>\n

Users of the internet, phone and TV provider's services have been hit by a nationwide outage, in places including Idaho<\/a>, New Mexico<\/a> and Minnesota<\/a>. It's unclear what's caused the outage, or why it's stretched to now more than 12 hours. DownDetector reported initial signs of the outage around 4 a.m. ET Thursday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

"Our network is experiencing a disruption affecting customer services," CenturyLink tweeted<\/a>. "We know how important services are to our customers and are working to restore services as quickly as possible."<\/p>\n

"The CenturyLink network is still experiencing a disruption of services across multiple locations. CenturyLink engineers and technicians are working to address the issue," a CenturyLink spokeswoman told CNET. <\/p>\n

\n

\nOur network is experiencing a disruption affecting customer services. We understand some customers are currently unable to generate tickets through the CTL help portal. We know how important services are to our customers and are working to restore services as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n
