[outages] Level 3 fiber cut near Dranesville, VA

25 Apr 2013

      Level 3 released the following statement in response to a trouble ticket
for an outage on one of our circuits in Equinix Ashburn. Is anyone else
in/near NoVA being impacted by this?

"The fiber cut is located near Dranesville, VA and was caused by a
construction contractor, placing conduit for another fiber provider. The
outside plant manager advised that the damaged portion of fiber, has been
excavated. There is an efficient amount of slack, to make a splice. The
splice crew has an ETA of 1 hour. The next update will be sent, upon
arrival."
