OKLAHOMA CITY (KOKH) - Verizon Wireless says service is restored after a massive outage left thousands of customers across Oklahoma without coverage Wednesday.

"Verizon Wireless experienced an interruption in service for customers in Oklahoma today," said Jeannine Brew, a spokeswoman for the company. "It was caused by the rare occurrence of two separate fiber cuts on different lines, impacting the redundancy built into our network. Engineers were able to resolve the issue and service was restored by 2 PM CT."
