Cable Bahamas said a power cable fell on one of their cables which led to the cable catching on fire. This stopped service in the Winton and Camperdown for nine hours - 9.30am and 6.30pm.
Bahamas Electricity Corporation general manager Kevin Basden said a dump truck had dragged an electrical line into the cable line.
Cable Bahamas operations manager Lester DeGregory said the problem has happened before, “around twice a year and it is usually right at that same location, but in this incident it also burnt the cable further down”.
Basden said he was not aware of a similar failure in the past.
