This hurricane season has been incredibly difficult for many of our customers, but Hurricane Maria was particularly devastating to Puerto Rico.
Right after Maria hit and as soon as we were able to safely begin recovery efforts, our top priority has been to get our network back up and running at 100% as soon as possible. We have had all hands on deck focused on pushing through challenges and we are working 24/7 -- we won't stop until everyone's back online. As recovery is ongoing, we will also continue to evaluate how we can support our customers.
