Customers of OlyPen, Capacity Provisioning Inc., and Olympus Net will
not experience a disruption of service when Bonneville Power
Administration relocates a fiber broadband line outside of Shelton on
Saturday.
Those companies have redundancy through other cable paths off the North
Olympic Peninsula, representatives of those firms said Friday.
Bonneville’s service to its customers will be disrupted for about two
hours sometime between 4 a.m. and 3 p.m., said Doug Johnson, Bonneville
spokesperson.
Johnson said the company does not disclose which Internet providers use
its lines for “security reasons.”
Shawn Delpane, Clallam County Public Utility District network
administrator, said the disruption will affect Internet customers of the
PUD.
PUD’s broadband customers are Computer Solutions, CresComm, Nikola,
OlympusNet, Olypen, OrcaNet, and Capacity Provisions Inc.
But Internet suppliers with redundant cable paths off the North Olympic
Peninsula will not be affected.
That includes OlyPen, Capacity Provisioning Inc. and Olympus Net.
Nikola and CresComm will experience a disruption, company
representatives said.
A Computer Solutions representative said that the disruption would be
minimal.
An OrcaNet representative said the company has no Internet customers on
the Peninsula.
A previous story, which also appears on Page A4 of the Friday/Saturday print edition, listed PUD customers, but did not say which
companies have redundancy and so will not have a disruption.
