Never. That never happens. Telcos all run thier own fiber in thier own conduits, and protect it using SONET. Bahahhahahahahha. Yeah, right. Apparently, there was a cut on a route that took out a variety of carriers; someone I know who has a OC12 riding on Broadwing was down for a little while. Someone should start a database, where you enter information of where a fiber cut took place, what end points were effected, and start building correlations. That might be somewhat interesting.

According to Uunet:
Level3 is having a major outage
Abovenet is also reporting a major fibre cut, and there's reports of PSINet having a major outage, too.
Are they all sharing the same fibre, per chance?
