My home/consulting business ISP and my current work ISP's connectivity have been bit by what appears on first examination to be a Worldcom ATM failure starting about 2 hours ago (12:45 PST or so). It appears to be affecting stuff as widely spread as both west and east coast and connecting circuits.
Does Worldcom have any websites updating the status of their ATM network? The UUNET site has no mention of this, but worldcom's networks aren't very integrated, so it was possible the uunet portion of worldcom was unaffected.
http://www.noc.uu.net/ seems now, at long last, to have something posted on it. We've got a site in maryland that went down around 5pm-ish eastern today with them, which is fairly close to the 5:15 that CNN was reporting for the train incident. Maybe coincidence, but then again.... Anyway from http://www.noc.uu.net/ : Fiber Cut affecting many North East cities in the US. No ETR yet. Reference CNS RFO ticket 418065 Sean Donelan wrote:
