“Cox and AT&T have a duty to their customers, and that starts with transparency. The companies need to be clear about who needs their internet and cable back on and exactly what Cox and AT&T are doing to make that happen.”

MADISONVILLE, La. – Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) released the following statement urging Cox Communications and AT&T to devote more resources to restoring internet and cable services for Louisiana residents after the companies declined to report the number of customers without service:

“Louisianians hit by Hurricane Zeta are already helping each other recover, but they can’t rebuild or return to work alone. Cox and AT&T have a duty to their customers, and that starts with transparency. The companies need to be clear about who needs their internet and cable back on and exactly what Cox and AT&T are doing to make that happen. My neighbors in southeast Louisiana depend on the internet to support their communities at a time when many people are working and caring for their families from home. Their internet and cable providers need to invest some extra elbow grease into getting those services running again.”
