Welp, they had another 'something' in the northeast today, and no more information than a "there is an outage and we're fixing it" was released. I think the funniest part of the whole thing was when a UU sales driod called me mid-afternoon today trying his monthly sell-thing on me, and when I asked him about the current outage, he said he was unaware and that he'd get right back to me. I've not heard from him yet. When will large companies learn that hiding from outages like this is a bad thing? On 25 May 2000, Sean Donelan wrote:

Does anyone know what happened on Monday? Seems like it has been hushed up as I can find no information about it anywhere. Contacting UUNet results in them telling us that their legal department is working on a press release...
Didn't want to affect Worldcom's stock price with unfounded rumors. I was assured by a Worldcom V.P. last summer Worldcom will do a better job keeping any customer affected fully informed. I have to give Worldcom a fair shot at showing they will live up to their word.
