DALLAS, Nov. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T response teams continue to make good progress in restoring wireless and wireline services across areas in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. Across the impacted region, nearly 97 percent of our cell sites are up and running. More than 90 percent of our cell sites across New York City including Manhattan are back in service, up from 80 percent on Thursday. We expect to make continued good progress as power and other infrastructure issues are resolved. Additional resources continue shifting to the hardest-hit areas of New York and New Jersey as our network service has been restored to normal or near-normal operational levels in other areas, including: Virginia, West Virginia, Washington, D.C., Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine. Ongoing Restoration & Resource Deployment: Thousands of AT&T employees are working around-the-clock to repair damage, coordinate critical logistics, care for customers, and restore service.
