Reposting two messages from NANOG. -----Original Message----- From: John van Oppen [mailto:jvanoppen@spectrumnet.us] Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2012 6:37 PM To: nanog@nanog.org Subject: RE: fiber cut in California? We saw the issues on the AS209 backbone as well from our vantage point here in Seattle but we also show a circuit we have down (that rides Qwest) between Yakima, WA and Spokane, WA. The outage corresponds to the IP issues so I would think that it is probably the same cut affecting both the wave we are seeing as out and the IP issues (which mostly seem better now). Thanks, John @ AS11404 here in Seattle. -----Original Message----- From: Aaron C. de Bruyn [mailto:aaron@heyaaron.com] Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2012 5:41 PM To: Brandon Applegate Cc: nanog@nanog.org Subject: Re: fiber cut in California?

I tried calling Qwest (sorry, Centurylink) NOC/support and there was a preemptive recording basically saying there was a huge outage and that hold times may be long. I had to hang up before they came on to deal with some other things though.

On Twitter, LastCenturyLink told me its a fiber cut in Spokane, WA. -A
