    The Roaring Fork Valley got tossed back to the dark ages Monday after
    most internet and cellular services went down Monday morning, leaving
    folks scrambling to find functional wi-fi at a friends’ house,
    library, or totally out of the region.

    Accidental damage to fiber optic cables caused a region-wide outage of
    most cellular and internet services on Monday morning, impacting
    27,000 Comcast residential and commercial accounts from Glenwood
    Springs to Aspen, plus cellular service providers.
