UNDATED (AP) – Customers of Comcast Corp. lost part of their cable television service for several hours in many major U.S. metropolitan areas Monday. But the company says it has fixed the problem in most places. Spokeswoman Jenni Moyer says engineers continue to work on a temporary network interruption. She apologized for any inconvenience. The tracking site Downdetector.com reports that the outage started around 6:30 a.m. Eastern time and affected much of the East Coast from Washington, D.C., to Boston. Other affected areas included Pittsburgh, Detroit, Chicago, Minneapolis, Houston, Denver and San Francisco. Repairs were made by early afternoon. Comcast, based in Philadelphia, says the outage primarily affected TV service. Customers lost some of their channels but kept some service. The cause of the outage and how many subscribers it affected were unknown.
