Verizon Business OC-48 in Philly, S. New Jersey down

Or so goes the claim for why a bunch of our DS1s in that area all went away ~16:21 UTC. No ETR supplied to us; actually getting any hard data out of them right now is proving difficult. -- Jon Radel

Confirmed fiber cut of a OC-48, still dead, Philadelphia metro area, and the current status report is: "Michael(20:43:14): Your circuit is impacted by a cable cut. Technicians are still at work. In the North Pit, they have excavating the damage and they are prepping the cable for splicing. In the South Pit, they are still excavating the damage." No hint as to how much more was cut at the same time or ETR. But I was thanked for choosing Verizon. :-) On 9/3/10 2:03 PM, Jon Radel wrote:

This is very similar to an XO OC-48 fiber cut that happened back in July. Same areas were effected, South Jersey and Phila. XO was down for 27 hours. The OC-48 may well have been Verizon - wonder whats going in Jersey with these OC-48 cuts? -John ----------------------------------------------------
