Yesterday, Arvig, a leading internet service experienced widespread service interruptions affecting numerous customers, including those in the Detroit Lakes area. The company acknowledged the issue and assured customers that their technical teams were diligently working to restore full service. While many areas have since come back online, some locations may still experience intermittent connectivity issues. Arvig continues to monitor the situation closely to ensure complete restoration.
In addition to the service disruptions, Arvig has alerted customers to a phishing scam targeting its user base. Some customers reported receiving fraudulent emails prompting them to update their accounts. Arvig clarified that these emails were not sent by the company and advised recipients not to respond, click on any links, or download attachments. Customers uncertain about the legitimacy of any communication are encouraged to contact Arvig directly at 888-992-7844 or via their official website.
As of now, Arvig has not provided specific details regarding the cause of the January 9 service outage. Customers seeking the latest updates or assistance are advised to visit Arvig’s official support page
