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
Worldcom told me more than 800 DS3 are affected on their part. It's a train derailment between Buckhead (?), Georgia and Social Circle, Georgia. other carriers are affected too. On Fri, 11 Sep 1998, Dave Rand wrote:
