The company said the disruption was still happening at about 4:30 p.m. central time, but has not specified which services were disrupted.
The outage was affecting at least one emergency service agency in central Missouri — dispatchers in Benton County said they could not make or receive long distance calls in their emergency communications center.
The website downdetector, which tracks internet service outages, showed Columbia and other Missouri cities being affected on its outage map.
