The state of Ohio experienced some sort of disruption in its internet system Wednesday morning, causing web pages to not load and phones to roll directly to voicemail.

The system was restored by around 1 p.m.

Bill Teets, spokesman for the Ohio Department of Administrative Services, said the cause was an equipment failure that brought down its internet and phone systems.
