Wireless company Sprint Nextel Corp. said Tuesday its service in south Florida has nearly been restored, with less than 1 percent of local phone customers remaining without service.
Hurricane Wilma interrupted service in the region and Sprint Nextel estimates that some 2,100 local access lines have yet to be restored. Crews have restored more than 120,000 local lines in the area.
More than 90 percent of wireless networks are currently operational in south Florida, with recovery efforts focused on the southeast coast, primarily in the Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Monroe, Martin and St. Lucie counties where power outages remain an issue.
Sprint Nextel also said it is experiencing longer delays for local service installation and repairs in its central and south Florida areas.
Shares of Sprint Nextel added 37 cents, or 1.6 percent, to $23.68 in afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
