A Sprint switching center in New Orleans was damaged during Hurricane Katrina, affecting long distance and Internet service in North Florida.
Sprint officials can give no timetable for fixing the outage, as they had not yet even been allowed into downtown New Orleans because of flooding.
The outage affects long distance service for individual customers and Internet service for business customers (who are routed through the long distance switch in New Orleans) but is not affecting individual residents' Sprint DSL.
A few businesses have been hobbled by the problem. Tangentially, delivery companies say service to hurricane-affected areas is being delayed.
