A software glitch at a wireless switching center in Aurora interrupted cellphone and text service for about 11 hours in most of Colorado and Wyoming on Thursday.
Verizon Wireless spokesman Bob Kelley said the problem began at about 2 a.m. Thursday, with service restored at about 1 p.m. Kelley said it appeared a software defect, not a virus, caused the outage.
The switch in Aurora handles service for most of Wyoming and Colorado, with the exception of the Front Range cities of Colorado Springs, Denver and Fort Collins, which were not affected.
Affected cities in Colorado included Alamosa, Vail, Aspen, Durango and Grand Junction, while affected cities in Wyoming included Laramie, Casper and Cheyenne. The Associated Press
