LIHUE - Kauai got its regular internet, phone and cable TV back Monday night, but exactly what went wrong with the undersea fiber optic cable connecting the island to Oahu and the rest of the world remains unclear, and there is no firm timeline for repairs.

In the meantime, Kauai residents will rely on internet service running through a backup submarine cable, which does not have as much capacity as the one that malfunctioned Sunday night.
