Contrary to earlier messages suggesting that the C.O. was a complete loss, I now have it on good word that most if not all of the systems located in the West St. C.O. will be gutted and replaced. There is a massive undertaking taking place now to do just that. -FAC

Verizon currently has not ETR for their West Street location. We have multiple circuits that are out including a few FLM-600s and 150s in the basement of one of our locations downtown.

fwiw, our office in the Seaport district was knocked out on 9-11 (both power and comms). Copper from West Street was severed in the vault, and who knows what all else in the Class 5.

Con Ed power was restored via street generator units last week.

Yesterday, Verizon call-forwarded all of our regular POTS lines to our cellular accounts (of assorted vendors) satisfactorily, and we are now at least able to receive incomings.
