The FCC notes that 189,487 cable and wireline subscribers across the 55 impacted counties had lost service as of Monday, up from a total of 148,565 on Sunday. The agency notes that 4.7% of the total cell sites in the impacted area remain inoperable, with 50% of downed cell sites being located in Arans and Refugio counties in Texas. Many areas remain impassible due to flooding, and Comcast <a href="https://twitter.com/ComcastHouston/status/901806547050881026">issued a statement</a> saying it was suspending operations in the region until conditions improve. </div><!-- google_ad_section_end --><div class="story_tags"><br><font color=#808080>tags: <A HREF="/news/tag/business">business</A> &middot; <A HREF="/news/tag/trouble">trouble</A> &middot; <A HREF="/news/tag/outage">outage</A> &middot; <A HREF="/news/tag/consumers">consumers</A></font></div><aside id="share-buttons" class="thin-divide-bottom"><input id='social_short_url' value='http://dslreports.com/news/140236' type=hidden><input id='social_url' value='http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/190K-Cable-Phone-Customers-Without-Service-in-Wake-of-Harvey-140236' type=hidden><input id='social_title' value='190K Cable, Phone Customers Without Service in Wake of Harvey' type=hidden><ul style="display: block; margin: none;"><li style="float:left;"><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dslreports.com%2Fshownews%2F190K-Cable-Phone-Customers-Without-Service-in-Wake-of-Harvey-140236&amp;send=false&amp;layout=box_count&amp;width=48&amp;show_faces=false&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;share=false&amp;font&amp;height=60" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:52px; height:60px;" allowtransparency="true"></iframe></li><li><div id='fb-butt' class="fb-share-button" data-href="http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/190K-Cable-Phone-Customers-Without-Service-in-Wake-of-Harvey-140236" data-layout="box_count"></div></li><script type="text/javascript">
