Last week I gave Sprint some complements on their success avoiding customer service affecting fiber cuts.
Unfortunately, Murphy took it as a challange. First, Sprint lost an STP power supply which blocked SS7 service in Sprint's southeastern network for 2 hours and 52 minutes. Then on Tuesday, Murphy killed a disk drive on Sprint's SCP, blocking Sprint's nationwide network for 4 minutes until it could be taken out of service.
