Sean, TCG did have a fiber cut between Chicago and Milwaukee yesterday that affected quite a bit of service between the two cities as well as within TCG Chicago. We had circuits down for 6 hours because of this cut. They restored service at 9:10 PM. But the killer story here is that the cause of the fiber cut was because someone got fired and the guy went cutting through fibers left and right. I could not get information on whether this was a TCG or Ameritech employee... their NOC wouldn't tell/didn't know. The guy was arrested immeadiately. - Brian brianv@xnet.com XNet Information Systems

I received a report of TCG being down between Milwaukee and Chicago starting at 4:00pm CST on March 24 (yesterday). Does anyone have more information on this one?

Thanks, sean. -- Sean Donelan, Data Research Associates, Inc, St. Louis, MO Affiliation given for identification not representation
