That AT&T has stopped provisioning protection fiber for automatic restoral is mind boggling. That our crack (or on crack) govt contracting/emergency-preparedness staff didn't demand protected facilities for 911 is another mind boggling issue. That there is no over-under wide-area back-up coverage for the cellular canopy ... We posture and orate about being prepared for terrorist attacks and natural disasters, and then events like these reveal the reality: The emperor has no clothes. Roy wrote:
Service to South Santa Clara county is completely down: Internet, landline, and cellphones. Both Verizon and AT&T are affected. 911 is also down.
My cellphones show one or no bars. Normally they are all four bars.
The idea that all of that is lumped in one fiber bundle is mind boggling.

I saw my Sonic.net-over-AT&T ADSL go dark at 02:30 local and it is still down, served on a fiber remote out of SNCZCA01. (I'm guessing the 200 Paul outages are associated with where this ATM terminates and that's the cause, rather than the service in/out of Santa Cruz County, but I have no way of telling which from here)
My own Gatespeed.net microwave to Equinix SV-3 is working fine (no surprise there), and I'm not seeing significant routing problems in/out of there with transit or peering. (Not even any down peers, so no inter-Equinix-site outage apparently).
