NETWORK UPDATE

  • Core Network: Our core network is fully operational and off-island internet connections are stable with ample capacity. Most of our core network sites are on island power, and we would like to thank GPA for prioritizing GTA as critical infrastructure to keep the island connected.

  • Wireless Services: As of today, a majority of our wireless network cell sites are operational. Our main challenge is keeping generators fueled and maintained while GPA works to restore island power. Please note this is a fluid situation and cell sites may go down due to power outages or generator issues. Customers that are experiencing wireless service issues can contact our Support Center for updates and assistance.

GTA is fully committed to restoring network services to all our customers as quickly as possible, and we deeply appreciate your patience and understanding as work to keep you connected.

If your power is restored and your internet is not working, please follow these steps:

  1. Check that all the connections are securely plugged into the modem.
  2. Unplug the power to the modem for 1 minute. Plug the power in and wait 3-5 minutes to initialize.
  3. Once the modem has had time to boot up, plug-in/power up your internet devices or digital TV set-top box.
  4. If you have completed the following steps above and are still having issues with your services, please contact our Support Center for assistance.
