Any one from Sprint care to enlighten us on the major fiber cut in Seattle? Any word on when the Sprint facilities in this area will be back up, or what was/is the problem?

Isn't it a damned shame that a company the size of Sprint does not have a NOC. <sigh>

Sorry this wasn't about routing configs or peering randy, but the NOC (Sprint's ISC) couldn't really answer this non-emergency question, and the (ahem) customer service people at SMC had only a recording referring to a vague "network event" in Seattle, not actual information about what was causing the outage.

You failed to notice Randy's dripping sarcasm.

No, you understood it just fine. Randy was being a [expletive deleted]. He does that when things don't go his way. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.

I don't know if this still applies. These notes are from 1995. SprintLink INSC Integrated Network Service Center 1-800-669-8303 (4 - SprintLink specialist) (2 - Major Event line)

Having a NOC and having a NOC that those who aren't customers or peers can use for outages or other problems (eg. 2s latency and 50% packet loss) are two different things. I don't know if the original poster is a Sprint customer or peer but, if not, then in my experience you will get more information from asking the bum in the back alley than from Sprint.

Try sarcasm that isn't true. It is a damn shame, and they don't have anything to speak of. Their response center is downright useless, even when you pay them for the priveledge. The only way to get something out of Sprint is to know someone. If you don't know someone, it would seem that lists like Nanog are your only choice. I don't agree, but I don't see a better path either. -- Joe Rhett Systems Engineer JRhett@ISite.Net ISite Services PGP keys and contact information: http://www.navigist.com/Staff/JRhett
