Re: OUTAGE: train derailment in Atlanta, fiber cut

Today is off to a great start.

A train derailed outside of Atlanta cutting several fiber cables affecting service in the southeast.

MFS has a total of 613 DS3's down at this time - no ETR. No word on how many other carriers are affected. Outage began at 02:15 PDT, roughly. Looks like self-healing SONET, isn't. :-( -- Dave Rand dlr@bungi.com http://www.bungi.com
