TAMPA FL — No Florida county has more than 50 percent of its cell sites out, federal officials said, and just three counties — all in southern Florida — had 20 percent or more of their cell sites out.

The Federal Communications Commission on Saturday updated its breakdown of cellphone outages by county in a status report on communications services.

Overall, the FCC said 5.8 percent of cell sites in Florida were out of service Saturday, down from 8.5 percent Friday and 13.4 percent a day earlier. Georgia and Alabama were completely restored Friday.
