Generally a few cases a year of that happening. Rare for the city.

Ah, now we get some details: ------

We have further information regarding the cause of the fiber cut. The fiber was apparently shot by a gun. Fibercut has been isolated to 5700 feet from 401 N. Broad Street. Windstream crews will have to resplice 72 of aerial fiber. They are currently still pulling slack and will begin splicing soon, ETR is 2 hours.

I honestly didn't realize it was that type of neighborhood.....

Yes. We lost part of our XO MPLS-based network in the Philadelphia region. We've been told that there was a fiber cut involving at least 72 strands. We've been told, as of 11am ET, that some repair has been achieved but there's no ETR available for all splicing to be completed.

Anything interesting, such as exact location of the cut, other carriers involved, what happened, etc., have been carefully filtered out of what I'm being told. ;-)

Has anyone heard anything about a fibercut near the Southern NJ/Philadelphia Area? We have been getting random error messages on phone calls today and we heard a rumor that there might be a outage in that area.
