Fiber cut on Irish Sea
Hi There, Since we use a vendor of "the vendor" of two Irish sea submarine cables I am wondering if anyone has first hand information on the fiber cut this morning? Does anyone have a status update on what is happening? I am getting some Chinese whispers going on here. Thanks! Ken

We received the report from Packet Exchange, however they are not the owners of the cable. I assume they just rent spectrum. 2009/3/29 isabel dias <isabeldias1@yahoo.com>:

Are you able to provide historical information on the incident/outgae you have experienced? Are you able to provide an egress and/or igress traffic coming in and out of your network to make sure your traffic was crossing that transmission path? I guess you must have visibility of planned work or outage notification if anything happen and you were directly affected- YES/NO? --- On Sun, 3/29/09, Ken Gilmour <ken.gilmour@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi, This has been fixed now. I will follow up directly with PE for an RFO. Thanks for your help on and off list. Regards, Ken 2009/3/29 isabel dias <isabeldias1@yahoo.com>:

If it was repaired that quickly it was probably not a cut or a 'wet' failure but maybe something like an electronics failure in a landing station or something similar. jms

Hi Justin, It happened at 8:00AM Irish time (which is about 2:00 AM My time) I didn't get in to the office and notice the mail until 6 hours after it happened (In Central America) so it took about 7 hours and 30 minutes to fix. PE also reported that the problem started at 8:00 AM on the 29th and was repaired at 9:05 (no AM or PM) on the 26th (yes, three days in the past). I don't think their timing procedure is functioning correctly. Regards, Ken

Hey!?!?!? Where'd they get a time machine! lol, j/k You mean 26th at 8am to the 29th 9:05 M-less? regards
