Latest update from this morning (summarized from a voicemail rather than text update): - jointing area is being prep'd for initial testing to check for damage and continuity towards Seattle, which will take a few hours - if testing is successful, both cable ends will then undergo final prep for splicing, which will take another 3 hours - time to complete testing and working the cable to the proper length took longer than expected - another hour before prep starts and then 3-4 hours for splicing - once the fibers have been spliced, outside techs will then be given an hour's notice to begin end-to-end testing Voicemail noted 07:00 - 07:30 AM PST as the time when technicians would begin testing. As the message came in at 07:42 AM, I can only assume that either the actual update from the field came in much earlier and was just getting relayed now, or their times are off given that they were talking about 4-5 hours between testing + splicing. -- Hugo -----Original Message-----
