It’s been a frustrating weekend if you depended on the internet to do business or school work.

Since Friday evening, the American Samoa Telecommunications Authority broadband service via BLAST has been on and off.

The intermittent service continued till this morning in several parts of the island.

When KHJ News inquired about the cause of the internet outages, ASTCA CEO Alex Sene Jr, said it appears the power supply was a factor.

He said today calls were coming in from internet customers reporting that they began experiencing slow or no service since Friday,.

KVZK-TV programming was affected and our radio stations V103 and 93 KHJ also went off the air periodically due to what appears to be a brown out when there’s a sudden drop in power supply.
