Got a Level 3 fiber cut in San Bernardino, CA going on for about 17 hours now. Our first link alarm was at 3:47pm CT yesterday. $DAYJOB has two 1G circuits affected. Looks like they had a hell of a time getting the replacement cable and splice conduit installed. Splicing is estimated to start in another 2.5-3.5 hours on the east side of the cut. Here's the latest we received from Level 3. 10/24/2018 12:29:56 GMT - *** CASCADED EXTERNAL NOTES 24-Oct-2018 12:22:53 GMT From CASE: 15371425 - Event The Outside Plant Engineer has reported that cable preparations on both the west side and the east side of the cable is ongoing. It is estimated splicing on the west side will begin at 14:00 GMT and splicing on the east side will begin between 15:00 GMT and 16:00 GMT. 10/24/2018 11:10:34 GMT - *** CASCADED EXTERNAL NOTES 24-Oct-2018 11:04:06 GMT From CASE: 15371425 - Event The Outside Plant Engineer has confirmed the trench is dug and the replacement cable is being ran between manholes at the west side of the damage.

The trench is expected to be complete at approximately 10:30 GMT with an estimated time splicing will begin of 12:30 GMT. 10/24/2018 08:08:37 GMT - *** CASCADED EXTERNAL NOTES 24-Oct-2018 08:01:50 GMT From CASE: 15371425 - Event The Outside Plant Engineer reported the replacement section of fiber cable has arrived and is currently being pulled into position. Along with the section of fiber cable, a new splice enclosure is being prepped and will be replaced to complete repairs of the 264 count cable. The 84 count cable has been prepped and ready for splicing. Field Operations have moved to an adjacent manhole looking for available slack to repair to the 168 count cable. The Outside Plant Engineer reported splicing is expected to commence at 10:00 GMT. The next update will be sent at that time or if additional information is received. -Brian
