[Outages-discussion] Fiber Cut in Southern NJ

[Jon Radel]

Ah, now we get some details:
------

We have further information regarding the cause of the fiber cut. The fiber was apparently shot by a gun.
Fibercut has been isolated to 5700 feet from 401 N. Broad Street.  Windstream crews will have to resplice
72 of aerial fiber.  They are currently still pulling slack and will begin splicing soon, ETR is 2 hours.

I honestly didn't realize it was that type of neighborhood.....
