NATCHEZ — After spending days with no phone or Internet access, Natchez residents had full restoration of services over the weekend.

AT&T spokeswoman Sue Sperry said all services were fully restored as of Sunday morning.

“Everything went as expected,” she said.

The restoration work was needed after a CableOne work crew, on a excavation project, cut through five of AT&T’s cable lines.

City Engineer David Gardner estimated those lines provided service to approximately 7,000 Natchez residents.

Sperry said AT&T is still investigating the cause of the accident.
