There seems to be multiple outages (some providers have said fiber cuts) around the country.
Geez, did someone let some of Milosevic's people in the country with backhoes? I've now also received a report of a Texas fiber cut (frontier or als) and outages in Deleware, Ohio, Maryland, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia (mci or worldcom). It still isn't clear if there is one or more than one cut in the northeast. I'm also not sure where the Tennessee and Florida outages are originating, or if they are connected with the ones mentioned above. -- Sean Donelan, Data Research Associates, Inc, St. Louis, MO Affiliation given for identification not representation
I hear that it is due to a Train wreck, where, I don't know. CJ Sean Donelan wrote:

Ladies and Gentlemen: Very Briefly... thought that I would interject/contribute a tid-bit on outages elsewhere -- than what seems to be known. A cable was severed in Honolulu also today, that took out 90+ strands of fiber. Time-Warner Telecom, DREN Traffic Flow and Connectivity to I2/Abilene were aamong those effected. I have no follow-up to provide you now on this.. Best.
[Some humour for you all] A couple of us in the office have officially named Fridays "Fiber Cut Fridays." Two weeks ago, we took bets on what time the Canadian fiber cut would be at (or no cut at all). There was no cut. The 10 people who betted "no cut" received $3 each. Last Friday, we didn't take bets, and a cut occurred. :) Start your own local pool ! More money than the stock market ! :) At 13:40 4/30/99 -1000, you wrote:
