        Adpelphia Communications (formerly Hyperion) has had some sort of failure in Northern NJ (they are being very unspecific, possible a OC48 ring failure) that has brought down a significant portion of their Northern NJ network. While this may not be earth-shattering news, it should be noted that Adelphia carries a very significant portion of ISP dial traffic (they are a large CLEC in the state). (As a side note, because we generally rely on them for our phone service, and most of our information has the failed-numbers on them, if you need to reach the NAC NOC for the next few hours you can use our Bell number at 973.451.9397.)
