   JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) -- Telephone service for up to 2,000 customers
   was cut after construction workers on Wednesday morning severed four
   Bell Atlantic cables in a residential area.
........
   The cables that were cut have up to 6,000 access lines, but a majority
   of calls may go through other lines, Rodriguez said.
