Last week we noticed how the local cable company in Hawaii was going all-out to provide HD service to customers in time for the Sugar Bowl. The saga continues…

Unfortunately for the cable company and especially for subscribers, cable service went out for 170,000 customers statewide during the second quarter.  Service was restored almost immediately for most, but several thousand households waited up to an hour into halftime for the problem to be fixed.

Cable operators are blaming vandals looking for valuable copper wiring.  We suspect a merciful Hawaii fan who had seen enough.
