Update: The break has been located by Lumen, and crews are on site. Expected ETR (estimated time to repair) is sometime between 9pm this evening and 1am.
Update: According to the Archuleta County Broadband Services Management Office, Lumen has confirmed that there is an issue (probably a cut) with the fiber between Bayfield and Durango, so it is affecting Bayfield area cellular and Lumen DSL as well. They are still isolating the cut and won't have Estimated Time to Repair (ETR) until it has been found and assessed. Stay tuned for more updates.
