Interesting. The report I got from a vendor was that it is Above.net with a fiber cut in Redwood City which is affecting a circuit of mine between 200 Paul in SF and PAIX in Palo Alto, which is a ways from south San Jose. David

According to SF Chronicle: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/04/09/BAP816VTE6.DTL&tsp=1 "The fiber-optic cables were severed shortly before 1:30 a.m. along Monterey Highway north of Blossom Hill Road in south San Jose, police Sgt. Ronnie Lopez said." Vicintity of 121.81 W 37.26 N, but I have no idea specifically where in that general area. There are train tracks through there, could well be a vault along the train tracks alongside Monterey Highway. But I don't know specifically where the AT&T fiber runs down there. -george william herbert gherbert@retro.com

The fact that it's vandalism is VERY annoying. Sadly it also shows how vulnerable we are. I'm guessing the next Die Hard movie will have the baddies cutting fiber trunks before trying to steal the money? -- John A.

Based on the previously posted news articles .. First one is in this proximity : 37°15'20.79"N 121°48'9.38"W Second one is in this proximity : 37°29'44.00"N 122°14'44.31"W First one is along a highway .. second one is along railroad tracks. Google Earth's imagray of both areas is quite good (~.5m maybe) .. but not quite good enough to make out manholes. Also interesting to note .. from one of the news articles .. "AT&T's contract with the Communication Workers of America expired at 11:59 p.m. Saturday" Cheers, Michael Holstein Cleveland State University

First one is along a highway .. second one is along railroad tracks. Google Earth's imagray of both areas is quite good (~.5m maybe) .. but not quite good enough to make out manholes.
The manholes are clearly visible on the zoomed in images for the first location (Old County Road, San Carlos). There is a line of 3 closely spaced manholes easily seen in the middle of the south/east bound lane - about 100-150 feet south/east (towards Redwood City) from where Google places this location: 37°29'44.00"N 122°14'44.31"W If you go to Google's Street View at the second location: 37°29'44.00"N 122°14'44.31"W There's a manhole right there. However, the TV footage shows them accessing the lines from a manhole in the dirt along the tracks, not a manhole in the street. jc
Also interesting to note .. from one of the news articles .. "AT&T's contract with the Communication Workers of America expired at 11:59 p.m. Saturday"

Virenda Rode started the outages mailing list. He even spent money not insignificant buying the outages.org domain from someone who owned it. Gadi.
Hey Chris, Yes. outages@outages.org is the one. Alex Christopher Morrow wrote:

Yeah. It's on outages. Not much useful there. Christopher Morrow wrote:
